I don't want a tribike.  I have almost no experience with biking.  Keep in mind that I live in Iowa (and it's -10 degrees as of 1/17/09) and my tri is June 28th, so I need to pull the trigger soon and can't test bikes outside. I've seriously considered the Closeout '08 Specialized Tarmac Comp and '09s.  Also looking at '09 Cannondale Six 3 Compact, '09 Jamis Xenith Comp and others in the Tarmac series. I've thrown out Trek.   I've been told to go with Specialized, but noticed that I can get better components (Ultegra vs 105) on some other brands for a bit less $.  Others I've considered are Cervelo S series and Giant.  Help!!!!!!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
