Which Bike to get? - Triathlon Week

C5marine · 06-16-2005, 09:39 AM

Alright, I am getting back into the sport after a long time. I have narrowed down my search to two bikes, the Cannodale 800 Ironman and the QR Tequilo. Both fit well, both ride well, and they are both about the same price (04 leftovers, so a hell of a deal). Which one would you get and why? Also, I was also being pushed into a Cannodale 2000, another 04 leftover at a hell of a good price. I am so confused. Thanks!

Well if all the choices are that close and all you need is just that little tilt one way or the other, if it were me I would pick the coolest looking one that made me look the best! All three bikes are choice and whatever you decide, you will have a great ride!
Not much help I know, but have a great time picking one.

IF you are tri specific stick with an aero frame. I'm currently on a cannondale ironman 800 04 leftover as well and am very pleased with it. I've got a couple a hundred km on it now and I am super happy.
Just my two cents. I'm sure the quintana roo will also be a great ride. Are the specs the same on the two?
I'm pretty biased towards the cannondale frames. Too my eye they are some of the best made out there.

Buy you, the bike that more you like it.

Take them for a ride and see which one you are most comfortable on.

Good Luck!
