发帖数: 4931 | 1 I was out to rent a tri bike, and then I was convinced by the shop owner
that it's a better deal to buy the bike. He gave me a good deal, Fuji Aloha
2.0, for $1100 plus tax, and spent 2 hours fitting me. The bike is just
gorgeous. The guy gave me a bike short and a pair of swimming goggles for
free, and showed me how to use CO2 pumps. Now I truly have everything I need
. The big difference with the tri bike is that the seat tube is at 78
degrees, which allows me to run easier after the biking. T |

good enough for me anyway, hehe.

发帖数: 4931 | 5 Went out for a 24-mile test ride. The aero position is interesting. I'm not
exactly used to it yet. Surely it reduces the drag quite a bit, but I feel
that I can't pedal at 100% efficiency in that position. It also puts a bit
more stress on my quads and my core muscles. I must say that on the overall
it is much more comfortable than my "old" $300 windsor bike, and definitely
feels faster (even though it's hard to compare quantitatively since it's
hard to judge my effort level). |

发帖数: 4931 | 7 No. I'll definitely get clipless pedals later, when I go for longer rides
and/or prepare for the full iron, but not now.
