Thanks to all for your responses.

I tested the '07 QR Tequilo at my LBS and took it for a spin around the block in NY's sub 30 degree weather. It was 52cm size M, DA setup and FSA carbon cranks and weighted at about 19.99lbs. Not exactly sure what the exact frame composite was - could be a mixture of carbon and aluminum? I pretty much ruled out Lucero (beyond my price range) and contemplate b/w QR's Seduza or Caliente.

I also made an attempt to test a Trek TTX 9.5 today. Unfortunately, the only floor bike they have was a M which was equivalent to a 54-56cm frame. The bike was set on a trainer and I was told to be looking for something within 51-52cm range for a tri-setup.

I have yet to test out the Cervelo P2C and would be the last before making a final choice.

My first tri-event is scheduled at the end of the March. Any more info/input/opinion would be deeply appreciated.
