Hi guys I'm about to buy my fisrt tri bike got a list of options from my LBS. I like the P3 but it seems the P2 is about the same bike with a little better components . The Trek SC 7.5 looks great plus I really like the integrated front end. What do you guys think is it worth it the 1.1k diff btw p2 and p3. Any advise on the trek or bmc
What was the lbs' list based on? AFAIK all of those frames have different geometries. If you can afford it- and you can if you're spending 3-4k- go so somewhere and get a proper fit, ie on a retul bike or similar. Have the fitter recommend a list of frames that will work. Just my .02. Many bike shops often go merely by height etc which is not enough info. Just my .02
Geometry wise, they're close, but not the same, so there's going to be compromises. In essence, one will fit much better than the other two, you just need to figure out which one and that's the one to get.
They're all great bikes, so that won't really make a difference.
