Subject: RE: Looking for Tri shop with multiple selection of bikes well just got back from Clearwater and my NEW Specialized Transition from Chainwheel Drive!! first off let me say the service at Chainwheel is second to none. bar none the best buying experience for a major purchase i have ever had. mad props to those guys. yesterday i rode the Specialized, Kuota, Elite, and QR bikes. i then went over to a Trek shop and rode 2 different Trek TTX bikes. i then went and rode a Cervelo at another shop just to make sure i had a feel for that bike. so all in all i rode Felt, Cervelo, Specialized, Trek, Kuota, Elite, and QR. after all said and done, i have no doubt the Specialized is the best bike for me. i slept on it last night and went back and bought the Transition. best of all, Chainwheel's fit pro happened to be there today and made time to fit me. my wife and kids went shopping and i got fitted so i didn't have to come back to Clearwater for the fit. after the fit i took it around the block and man i felt like a rocket ready to explore. i can't wait to take it out on the road for a ride. like night and day compared to my roadie with clip on aero bars. now i gotta save a bit for some nice race wheels to complete the package. will post some porn pics tomorrow so keep an eye out. i'm as thrilled as i've been about a purchase in years. thanks a ton for all the advice and suggestions. i'll give a shout out to Chainwheel again for anyone looking for a new bike. guys there are top notch. i'll do more business with them in the future. |
