Sincere thanks for the input.
You won't regret it. Just be sure to be fit well on it and comfortable.
My TT setup is for aero only, not comfort at all. Max aero position. Even then, I'll ride metric centuries on it and only come out of aero to go up a hill if slower than like 17mph or so. Just that I have worked on the fit that much as to perfect it for myself that it is still comfy enough for long rides also.
I have learned now to comfortably reach behind my seat for the BTS bottle, etc..... It did take me some miles and hours riding that way, but now it's just like anything else.
Good luck, and have fun!
