Felt Bike Fitting
I am looking to purchase my first tri-bike, specifically the Felt B16. I have read good things about it, but the shop here has to order it in so I can't really test its fit. The only caution I have read is that they fit a little differently than other similar bikes of a different brand.
Any thoughts? I'm 6'1" and have pretty long limbs. Looking at the 58cm.
Thanks!

The shop may do fittings on a machine in the store. If they are able to do that, then you will be able to see what dimensions you need on a bike. The fit is much more important than the bike. You won't be able to use whatever advantage it may have over the next bike if you are not comfortable and able to put the power down. In short, go get a good bike fitting, if not at that store, at another.
