All3sports Tri Package

depends on if you like their bike choices I guess.  It is a bit constraining- especially if the geometry of the Kilo or Kilo C don't fit you all that well.

It is a pretty good 'deal', but not if those aren't the things you wanna buy.  Bike purchases are hard decisions.  Fit, feel, components, price- it gets very complicated very quickly. 

If you take your time, find good deals on all the individual pieces- you'll probably end up paying a bit more, but at least you'll eventually get what you want.

No, I don't have a bike at all.  I realize I don't have to have a tri bike to compete.  I'm 6'3" and was fitted for a bike a while ago.  I was told I needed a 61cm bike.  The shop I went to, couldn't even get one in, they didn't stock them.  

Now, that shop is out of business.  Any road bike I'd like to get, would cost just under what a tri bike would cost.  So, I figured I'd go ahead and get a tri bike.

I've looked on Craig's list, eBay, for any good used bike, but nothing in the 61cm range.  Mostly 54cm.

if your only bike is a TT bike- think about how you will normally be riding and training.  road bikes are much more versatile.  but- if you will be doing most of your training solo and not in groups, and you've got a lot of long open spaces to ride- then a TT bike will be a great choice. 

I've taken to riding my TT bike pretty much all the time and like it- but it really depends on your situation.
