Re: Ironman bike

I did IMCDA on a P2K this past June.  It's a great ride and I felt
very good coming out of T2.  I did a number of 100 plus mile rides in
training for this event and never felt that the frameset was wearing
me out.

Many people look upon Alum framesets as being harsh.  This isn't
always the case.  I ride a Trek 2300 for training that is pretty
harsh.  In comparision my P2K is very comfortable.  Frame design and
quality have as much to do with the ride of an Alum bike as materials.

Also, fit is a huge concern.  My Cervelo was fitted perfectly by
Transition Sports in California.  Fit is everything (*almost).

Check out www.slowtwitch.com for a survey of bikes used in
Kona....lotsa Cervelos out there.
