Got a new Bike
After several months of looking, and following some good advice on these forums and from John Withrow on searching and tracking items on ebay I finally bought a tri bike. Using the pre purchase guidance from Todd at TTbikefit.com, I looked for particular models & sizes that he suggested. I would recommend this service to anyone, the directions were easy to follow and he was very nice answering my unending questions.
In the end I got this new 2012 Scott Plasma3 (size54) off of ebay. I liked that it came with a decent mix of components, had a compact crankset, and came in all black and dark grey.
Well wouldn’t ya know, after putting it all together and adjusting to the dimensions that Todd suggested I have ridden it on the trainer, with the PT wheel I got back in the fall, a half dozen times and so far so good. The fit feels pretty good, with no discomfort in my back or arms. Although that might change when I actually stop riding indoors, but there is some room to adjust when necessary.
Thank you all for the good advice, I am really pleased with the value of what I found.

Nice bike and Todd is great to work with. Enjoy the new ride.

and Ken....keeps looking on ebay. The seller that listed mine had also listed the same bike size 56 about a month earlier and it went for almost the same price (within about $100 +/-).
Best of luck with your riding.
