My first Post/WTB:Tri Bike - Triathlon Week

I am just getting back into Triathlons. I was deeply involved since
the sport started in the 80's and raced nationally for 13 years in the
USCA circuit. I havn't raced since 1994 because I basically got tired
of having no life from training and wanted to try other things. I have
really missed the sport and am now starting to get back into it. It is
now time to upgrade my bike. I had a Kestrel before and am looking to
buy a new or used bike. Can you guys tell me the best bang for the
buck if I wanted a carbon bike & wheels, light weight for $4k or less?
Thanks,
Bill Heatherly

Orbea has a new, lower priced carbon frame modeled after the Carbon
Orbea Ordu, but with a cheaper carbon. I have not heard any reviews on
this bike, but I have read about it in Tri Magazines.
