New Bike Time (Quintana?)

platypus · 19 Jan 2010 at 11:49

Right, I'm looking for a new bike. Ive got a couple of road bikes, and given that I'm hoping to do some triathlons I thought I'd go for a specific TT bike.

Does anyone have experience of Quintana? I've been having a nose around and they seem to be good quality, and highly recommended, but I have no experience of them, and my nose tells me to go for a Focus because I like them and I like the frame stiffness.

I only ask because the '09 models are very nicely priced.

Ones I'm looking at:

https://triuk.com/product/09-quintana-roo-caliente

Obviously the second is a bit more of a treat, but looks like an awful lot of bike for the money.

Dont know much about them, and never ridden one so i can help you much.

However, wiggle have the caliente for £250 less: link. (only mediums left in stock tho)

Ooh now that is tempting, and I get a bigger discount as a Platinum customer.

Just got an email from wiggle with this in it. (You probably have it as well if your a platinum customer, but i'll post it anyway

Aye cheers touch, I have virtually decided on the Tequilo from Tri-UK as I can go to the shop and get it fitted. Just doing a bit more reading before handing that money over..
