Thanks for the thoughts & suggestions. I'm 6'2 or 187cm. Not short, not huge but big compared to most fast triathletes. Getting weight lower is definitely part of the plan. Agree with time on the bike - which is why I'm going to ride a roadie more so I can join some fast groups that I know & probably the local club races too. Other than that, I'm not sure how I gave you the impression I'm looking at technology. I'm pretty aware that the engine needs work, not the bike.

Will keep you posted as I go.
