A new bike - time to get more serious for Copenhagen

What sort of bike to take to Copenhagen for my first iron distance triathlon, that is the current question. Do I replace my old trusty Giant OCR with a new sleek racing bike or a time trial bike? After talking to many experienced people and Internet searching I decided to go down the path of getting a time trial bike.

My local bike shop, Spearmans in Wollongong, has looked after me for years so it was straight down to them for advice. They look after many of the people from the Illawarra Triathlon Club so have quite a bit of experience with tri bikes.

I decided on the Giant Trinity with HED wheels for racing and the standard wheels for training. I swapped out the standard chain rings for a compact set and swapped out the standard tri bars for Profile. Also I put a Fisik Arione Tri 2 seat. They only had a red one, but it give the bike the look of a red back spider!

On my first ride with it set up it was a stable as a rock. Great.

Two days after I picked it up I had the NSW Triathlon Club Championships at Forster. I was so impressed with the initial ride I decided to take it and race with it.
