selling my Tri Bike
So I am going to sell my old school CAD 3 C-dale that I made into my tri bike. I have a kickarse Bianchi C2C full carbon roadie that is a joy to ride. When I ride a similar route I feel no difference in speed but I do feel better on the road bike. I figure I can sell it and see how I do...I may not lookcutting edge or modern or anything like that but comfy & fast none the less. How many here use a road bike? In my lstrace I was pounded by several roadie types.

From what I've seen at sprint/olympics distances it's about 50/50. In fact at some sprints you see a good number of cruisers and hybrids too.
I use a road bike as the terrain where I do most of my racing is fairly hilly and I like to get way back in the saddle while climbing.
The difference is how fit you are not the bike.
