Default Scott Cr1 Vs Kestrel Talon


I am considering these two bikes for Triathlon (IM and half IM) races.

Can anyone provide any pros and cons on these two and why I should go one
over the other?

Thanks,

Craig

you decide to buy it.

Kestrel has been around building quality carbon frames for many years. The
Scott CR1 is an awesome frame, but may cross the line into the "stupid
light" category. I've seen it. I have a friend who is riding one now. He
loves it. But I wonder how well it's going to hold up. The tubes are
absolutely whisper thin and word is they can easily be destroyed by mistake
in a shop stand. I'm not sure I'd want to entrust my welfare to a frame
that's quite so fragile.

Do plenty of homework.
