      I have been looking for a good entry level tri bike (  cant stand to do another tri on a hybrid). Well I had been eyeballing a certain bike on-line and just on a whim I walked into a Local Bike shop what I had not visited yet and there right out front was the bike I had been reading about on-line and have fallen in love with. I have a pretty good idea what the bike goes for but before I make a final decision I would love some opinions from folks who know what they are talking about.

Bike is used but looks to be in really good shape. Everything is stock with the exception of aerobars and wheel set. Both of which we slight upgrades from stock. Also has a basic catseye bike computer attached.  After a bit of haggling we settled on a price of 750.00. I'm pretty sure this is a fair price but I thought I would make sure. They are holding the bike for me for a few days while I make the desicion.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I don't think you can get a true tri geometry bike for any cheaper. I say it's a deal, but I'm pretty partial to the S32.

if it fits you decently... pull the trigger.  That's a great deal.

As long as the bike fits, it's a pretty decent deal. If the bike doesn't fit, then it's $750 of no use down the drain.
