I don't do triathalons yet but I may be doing my first one this summer. I bought this bike a year ago off Craig's list and since then have been doing a fair amount of long distance cycling, centuries, commuting and general riding of about 150 -200 miles per week. I am recreational, not a racer, but I do like to go fast and watch my own personal times etc.... My question is: besides the aerobars on this bike, how is it different from a road bike. I have read the basics of tri vs road bikes but I don't totally understand all the differences. Would I gain better times over long distance with a road bike? Would it be easier on the body with a road bike?
