...were I her, I'd be careful about celebrating this thread. It gives her very little justification for buying the CF plastic bike she wants / needs, and more or less relegates her to the tri pack fodder bikes, that are available cheaply all over the place. According to expert opinion here, weight don't matter in a triathlon. You just point that sucker in one direction, like a flywheel at speed, and turn it loose for 100 miles. A real (wo)man could do that on a Raleigh three speed.
And I'm pretty sure these guys are telling you, you didn't really need those wheels.
