Question for everyone, my buddy Will is a pretty fast marathoner and wants to get into tri's. I think more the sprint tri's, rather than Iron Many, but perhaps he'd move up. Anyway he wants to drop about $2k on a bike, and isn't sure if he wants a full tri bike or a road bike.

Any thoughts? I was thinking the Cervelo Soloist, which is a pretty good cross between the two. I don't think he wants a full on tri bike because that's a pain in the ass to ride around anywhere but a race.
