I am primarily a road biker and use a classic chromoly criterium geometry road bike and a Litespeed. The area where I live is also primarily suited for road bikes, with varying terrain, surface conditions, and traffic. However, there are some routes where I could ride a Tri/TT bike. I've used clip on areobars before and like the speed and power. I'd like to build up a simple dedicated Tri/TT bike with an angled seat post, short stem, and full aerobar setup. I don't expect it or me to be competitive. This is just for the rush of that kind of training and riding.


What would be a good base for such a bike, i.e., another chromoly bike or an aluminum bike.

Thanks for your help.
