Getting a Tri Bike

Hello

I am thinking of getting a Tri-Bike. The three bikes I am looking at are the Quintana Roo Tequilo, the Felt S32, and the Cervelo P1. Any recommendations? Any one of those better than the others and why?

My buddy just bought a QR Seduza and complains it is too soft, but he prefers a stiffer feeling buke. Just ride all three and see what you like.

Get a bike fitting first and then consider your options.

I just bought a QR Seduza and am happy with it because it fits me well. I think the most important thing is how the bike fits.

I just bought a 2007 Cervelo P2SL for about $1200. They had about 10 2007 and 2008 P2SL's still in stock (Penn Cycyle in Minneapolis).

Shop around for a deal like this. A Cervelo P2 with Flaspoint wheels gives you a fast ride for a decent price.
