TREK USPS TT Bike vs 5200 vs Giant TCR composite 2 - Triathlon Week

08-23-2004, 06:39 PM

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post "Steel frame allez-
specialized pro vs newer bike". :-) I really value your expertise and
experience! I went to my LBS and did demo rides on the Trek USPS TT bike
($4,000 CDN) (it goes like a rocket, very smooth), the Trek 5200 ($3300
CDN) and the Giant TCR composite-2 (R-540 wheelset). (also $3300 CDN)
All 3 bikes had shimano ultegra components. After being measured, they
did suggest I ride a 54cm frame, or a medium (for the Giant). I loved
them all to ride. Any advice or preferences? THANKS, again for your
help. You guys are GREAT!!!! Barb
