Aside from that the ride is great- the Talon is a very responsive and smooth bike.

Unfortunate that you got too big of a frame. I'm looking for a 55cm. Definately not supposed to be stretched out on the aero bars. I've learned a lot just reading articles on the net. I've found that I'm even stretched a lot when I put aero bars on my road bike. THat's why I'm looking to maybe get a Kestrel Talon and build it up with aero equipment. Which brings me back to my original post, I'm trying to determine if getting an older model frame will make any difference.
Thanks for your info. I appreciate it.
