Help Choosing a Bike
Alright so I'm tired of riding my 1972 Schwinn World Traveler that weighs 35 pounds, so I want a new bike. Help me out in my selection process.
I am currently looking at the Cannondale CAAD9-5, Specialized Allez Elite, and the Trek 2.1
I should mention that I will mostly be doing just road rides but will probably 1-2 triathlons a year.
First I wonder if it is worth waiting for a 2010 model on any of these(if anyone knows if there will be considerable differences), or maybe just wait for the 2010 to get the 2009 cheaper.
And I know go ride em all and see which one seems to fit best, I plan to do that this weekend.
Any suggestions or comments will greatly help on the matter.

Get a 2009 model, save the cashflow, that's what I plan on doing.
That Specialized Allez...I've been looking at...and oh man, do I want it, haha.
