The most comfortable ones?

 

S-bend can be a bit aggressive if you arent used to aero (cant hurt the wrists)

 

Many people favour ski bend when starting.

 

As for which to get? Why the sexiest carbon ones you can find obviously

Sorry wrong forum but I dont know how to move the post

Do you need a TT bike?...probably not...unless the 6 minute saving will help you on to the podium.

TT bikes look so fast even when they just standing :thumbup:

 

Try and do a few rides on a TT bike and then make up your mind.

My word, that's purty!!

 

Thanks gummi, seems a road bike is the way to go for now. Any TT bike will be too much bike for me at this stage, it seems.

 

As you said, ride them and see.

Pfft! Hijacking my post! :)

 

No worries mate, would probably have been my next question.

 

Cool man... I had the same question as you, but I'm just keeping my road bike which I already have and getting the bars. First half ironman next year!

Guys,

 

If you looking for an intermediate TT set up I may have a deal for you. I have a Planet-X TT bike (size medium) I am 185cm tall. I ride quite an aggressive drop but that easy to change.

 

Planet-X frameset

Full Dura-Ace 7800 excluding cranks

Pro Missile TT bars

Fizik TT saddle

Pro Disc rear wheel

No front wheel

 

The bikes in great condition.

 

If you interested drop me a PM and I can send pic and we can discuss a price.
