Great post… I’m a runner that took up biking a couple of years ago with the hopes of doing some tri’s. I bought a decent road bike and had it professionally fitted. I even purchased an Adamo saddle, since I was having problems with numbness in my groin. Unfortunately the numbness eventually got worse (4 weeks straight) and I had to quit. The distances weren’t great (30 miles) so I’m not sure why I had this.
Now, I’d like to try again, but only if I don’t get any discomfort. I’m willing to pay a $3k for a bike (which is a good sweet spot according to the links above). Is a tri bike better than a road bike for comfort? I’m hoping to do a half ironman next year. Is there a certain type of bike or frame that is more notorious for comfort?
