I got a screaming deal on this bike which included race wheels that were worth almost $1000.00 by themselves. It's a Quintana Roo CD0.1 all carbon triathlon bike.
This thing fits me like a glove, I probably still have some fine tuning to do, but when I test rode it - I dropped right into the aero bars without a problem. There's still some hip tightness on the right side I need to resolve to get my stroke clean, but that'll come with flexibility and the real bike fit.
It's also NOT a Cervelo P2. The P2 is an awesome bike, don't get me wrong, but it's also what everyone rides. You don't see as many QR bikes out there, so that makes me faster in T-1 because I won't be searching for my look-alike bike, right? Hey, I'm looking for every speed advantage I can get.
The aero bars are excellent because they are totally configurable for my wide shoulders and it's got a lovely set of SRAM Red components on them (including the return to neutral feature which is pretty slick).
I'll need to get a set of normal wheels for the bike to make sure I don't wear out these beautiful wheels.
I love the upgraded saddle as well - ISM saddles rock.
Yes, I'm proud of her and she's a reward and incentive all wrapped up into one. A reward for getting as far as I have so far and completing my first triathlon. An incentive to live up to what this bike is capable of and go fast in Miami. She's going to get her first race break in this summer at Lake Chelan in ChelanMan!
