Hi, I am a very tall man, and I am looking to upgrade to a full triathlon bike. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me as to what bike they recommend. I am about 6'5", with long legs and arms, and I was looking in about the $1800-$2500US range. Thanks!!

Look at the Felt B2. My 6'2" son loves his. Good luck!

I would love to get a B2, but at $4400 complete, it is outside my price range! Sorry, I should have said I wanted to spend no more than $2500 complete.

If you want to try a Felt look at the S22. It's $2599 or S32 for $1399 they are both Tri Specific bikes. There are plenty of bikes out there. Just make sure you get fitted properly. You don't want to spend the money to find out it's the wrong bike for you. I ride a F80 by Felt. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy the racing again so I bought a road bike. If all goes well, down the road I may buy a Tri specific for races.
