Douglas Precision Plus
Hello!
Does anyone ride a Douglas Precision Plus? This is the one with the Reynolds carbon seat stays. Initially, I was considering a Tuscany, but the price tag is a bit much. I will use this bike for road trips and triathlon training. (switching back and fourth between the tri bike and road bike) Any thoughts on the Douglas?
Thanks!

Thank you. I've read through all of the previous posts. I was hoping to get someone's opinion that has been riding the bike for a while. On the up side, I did manage to find a Tuscany that is cheaper than the Douglas. But, the BS doesn't want to sell their bikes unless I'm standing in their store. Sheeeeez! Thanks again.

If you go to TiSports webpge they sometimes have overstock that they sell directly, pretty decent prices too. I think a few people have bought from them.
Good luck.
