What time trial bike is the best value for money?

I liked the :Felt b2 pro.

                 :Silverback.

The Felt is an AWESOME package.

 

The whole bike, plus all the specs included....

 

PLUS: Its just won the TTT at the Giro......

(Yes, I know, the Silverback took gold at SA's....)

Felt and Cervelo is the two best TT manufactures currently in the country.  They both have a long history of making really good TT and triathlon bikes.  You should be looking for a manufacturer of good triathlon bikes.  Quintana Roo and Kuato is also nice but I have not seen a lot of them around.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Here is a nice site with reviews including the B2.

Specialized are also bringing in the new Transition which won Kona this year.  I don't think they are landing complete bikes, but you have a frame/fork/headset option, plus one with the new Specialized developed crank set and braking system.  Check out http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/contentbike.php?range=108&bike=47

My choice has come to the felt b2 pro or the bmc tt 02.

Which of the two is better?

Felt or Kuota

Between the Felt and the BMC, I would choose the Felt. The Felt is full carbon, the 08 one has an integrated fork, and if I remember correctly, it comes with some nice cranks & bars, too.

 

The BMC has got better looks imo. The biggest problem I have with it is the inability to tilt the saddle. Dont know if they changed that in the newer versions, but the one I saw had the saddle fixsed level - not good for the plumbing! It is a carbon/aluminium frame, I would gess the frame will be a bit heavier than the Felt - not that it would matter much in a TT.

 

If I were in the market for a TT bike, I would also have a good look at the Specialized Transition carbon. I dont know which models the bring into SA, but some of them should offer good value.
