Perfect TT bike

Squad Cycles Hornett
An unplanned 90 minutes ride on a Squad Hornett hooked on a CompuTrainer at 53x11 Cyclerie.

Why? Well, I am in the process of getting my 1st tri bike. I chose a Quebec company called Squad Cycles, located in Laprairie, which owner, Patrice Lemieux, emailed me yesterday hesitating on the frame model to choose from : Aero TT which is more comfy/forgiving meaning bars can't be lowered too much or Hornett which is the top of the line aggressive machine but obviously less comfy if your lower back is stiff.

So I spent 90' riding a Hornett and I felt fine given it was my 1st ride on a dedicated TT bike. I have to wait until tomorrow and see what my body thought of the ride (sore back?). Then, I will contact Patrice to make the final call on the perfect frame for me. That's what I am looking for : the PERFECT TT machine for ME.

Here is the paint job I got designed on September 19th. That is a long time ago! I can't wait to have it and show it to you!
