My brother and I just entered into Ironman WI for 2005. We ride mostly road for fun and some century rides and have done some Tri racing in the past. What are the disadvantages of taking a rode bike like a Trek 5200 and making it into a Triathlon bike by adding aerobars? I have heard the the steep seat tube angle saves the legs for the run. Is this true? Can you create the same position on a Trek 5200? We would like to save the money and not buy a Tri specific bike if possible.
Thanks for the help
