Should I paint my fork?

It's currently seafoam green and every other part is black, though my stem/seat has some small white trim on it.

No. Green is cool.

I'm looking for a bike to train on, mostly for tris... I'm getting tired of doing them on my 25 year-old aluminum roadbike. Should I get this, or go with a more conventional road frame? If it matters, I'm pretty short, so the 49cm frame and 650c wheels look promising.

You should ask in the tri forum. The SSFG forum gets a little turned off by tri bikes because people convert them to fixed and they end up looking terrible.

Should I get a Garmin Edge 200 ($150), Edge 500 ($250) or the new Edge 510 ($300)? I'm about to get a new phone as well and I know the 510 can interact with androids and do some cool things. Any suggestions?

If you're into using the cadence and heart rate features, go for the 510. If not, go for the 200.

The 500 has it too with like accessories as the 510... plus you should be able to find it fairly easily second hand on ebay. Preferably in a bundle with included accessories mentioned above.
Coming from a 800 which died twice, the 500 has near infinite battery life. Meaning expensive is not necessarily better.

I haven't had my 500 ever come close to running out of batteries on a ride.

Maybe it's my Garmin telling me to HTFU

Finding stuff like that on ebay second-hand in Aus is not as easy as it is in the states, I did also manage to find a coupon code for the website that gives me 20% off, so 20% off those prices again! I think the 200 is out of the picture, it doesn't have the possibility of adding cadence or heart rate monitors if I feel like it. I think I may end up buying the 510 because pretty.

I want a 510, i like the ability of live tracking from a computer

There's a seller in taiwan (closer ;) )who sell's them NIB for cheap on ebay.
Only catch is you have to navigate the menu to change from traditional chinese to english (it's on there) and update using garmin's tw site.

That's so much effort haha, i'm more than happy to pay $240 brand new in box for the edge 510, I think i'll buy that!

Also I couldn't find them for anything less than 297 with a quick ebay search so i'm guessing 240 is going to be pretty hard to beat!

What website are you grabbing it from? And what's the coupon code? I want a 510 bundle, haha!

I got it off Wiggle.com! and the coupon code was '20-OFF'. The $240 was with the 20% off and not including the bundle so just the basics. Hope that helps!

Actually after going back to wiggle and putting in your US settings I don't think you can send it to America :( Sorry for getting your hopes up! haha

Ha, the 510 doesn't even come up on the US site. No big deal, thanks anyway! Sooner or later I'll find a good deal on one.
