I would have look at the Redshift Sports switch aero system for your road bike.
also consider a Profile Design FF post.
My aluminium tri bike was built up from a Leader 720TT frameset, it's about the cheapest alu frame around with that 78* seat tube angle that seems to define a Tri-specific bike. Their 735TT has the same geometry but a nicer rear wheel cutout. The finish on some of the welds is a bit snotty but heck, that won't slow it down any.
lightly used tri bikes pop up second hand as people upgrade or decide the sport wasn't for them.
I would also have a look at one of the newer split-nose saddles for comfort in the aero tuck, they get 'the boys' out off the front and out of the way. ISM Adamo, Cobb, Sitero are a few of the names to look for.
