Since catching the tri/ ironman bug about a year and a half ago, I have invested hundreds of hours in training and now I have “invested” the money. I did a fair bit of research in the last little while and its hard to beat the pricing and competitiveness of Cervelo, but Specialized has been going full steam ahead with their line of bikes. I just didn’t want something different, I wanted something stiff and comfortable. After all the reading the Specialized transition was probably the best match for my body type. Their pricing is roughly 400-500 dollars more then the comparable cervelo but their bikes have been spotted a lot more in the last little while with a pretty impressive line up of pros jumping on.
I ordered a new 2011 transition but after a little mix up, cancelled it and found last years transition pro with a sick set of mavic wheels all ready mounted. Pretty dam stoked on it and already took it for a cruise today, and well…the playing field seems to be level now. Now I have no excuses.
Large frame... I'm about 6 feet so it will workout nicely.
mavic wheels...nice little add on.
slim
New shoes to match, set of Diadora tri shoes called the Infinity. They felt awesome today.
The konasaurus, showing its age. Ten year old bike, that got my to last years finish line, minus a spoke. (and no tri bars)

Weehoo! Nice ride!
I picked up a Specialized Amira expert the other day. I’m super stoked to take it outside!
hopefully the weather gets better out there for you! I’ve been out maybe 4 times out here, still cold and crappy here too. Have fun on your new ride.
Hi, I am an avid cyclist myself and I was wondering if you could write a little review on the pedals that you personally use. I am collecting reviews from people so that I can add those to my site to help people buy better pedals for their needs!
Ok so, I started my website because after 2 years of riding I got sick of hurting feet and searched for good pedals. This proofed to be difficult because my feet are a little wider than on average. Anyway you can read about it on my site.
PS I have placed a link to your page from my page because we have somewhat simliar pages. A link back would be much appreciated!
Regards,
Joel
