Decisions???

After an incident with my bike and a metal shelf in my garage, I am now in need of a new steed - TT stylee...

I am still not sure what I am going to go for at the moment though? The bike company who have been dealing with me, offered me a couple of options and they were: this...



or



However, after a fews days of research and a lot of guessing on whether it would fit I decided that I was going to go for the Shiv but, and here is the but, it is not available until the end of September, beginning of October!!! So, it was back to the drawing board and after a lot of help from John Dennis at www.velomotion.co.uk for whom did my Retul fitting back in February, I have decided that I should follow my head and not my heart! So, as it turns out I have rather long legs for someone my size, I am more suited to tri bikes that are 'tall and narrow' as opposed to the 'long and low' types such as Cervelos and Felts. The 'tall and narrow' bunch that I have narrowed it down too are:



The Scott Plasma Ltd frame, or:


The Cannondale Slice???

Choices, choices...

Oh, and triathlete europe magazine if you are reading this, thanks! Your timing is impeccable - just as I thought I had made my mind up I have now spotted the Giant Trinity Advanced SL and that looks fab too... Think I will hold and have a butchers at the weekend as I am going up to the London Triathlon to spectate and they always have a good selection of bikes to drool over at the expo ;o)
