I love my bike, but it's a little big for me. $1000 so I keep riding it, but I wish it was a little smaller!<BR/><BR/>Regarding DFL vs DNS, absolutely agree with you! I am planning my return to Duathlon on Labour Day and checked last year's results. I am guaranteed DFL! LOL I've been waiting for this since I began running over a decade ago, and this is it! And I'm going to have everyone cheering, I promise!Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611881081213242008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13081919.post-900693422986107922007-06-04T12:45:00.000-06:002007-06-04T12:45:00.000-06:00You ARE definitely a real tri-blogger!!!! You may ...You ARE definitely a real tri-blogger!!!! <BR/><BR/>You may also consider asking around on local lists to see if anyone has an older bike your size that they have recently upgraded! You might find a real bargain that way. Looks like you're doing great research on your bike purchase!Nancy Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402516081283603553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13081919.post-69834911977604618232007-06-04T12:09:00.000-06:002007-06-04T12:09:00.000-06:00woo hoo! congrats on a solid finish!I suggest you ...woo hoo! congrats on a solid finish!<BR/><BR/>I suggest you find a local bike shop that you are comfortable with, who has a good reputation in your area - ask other triathletes who they like, and a name may come up repeatedly (it's a sign). Find one who does professional bike fits.<BR/><BR/>Go there, and find out what fits your body the best. In my experience, fit is the most important part of bike purchase. <BR/><BR/>the rest will fall into place after that.the Dread Pirate Rackhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758895507726373202noreply@blogger.com
