Buying the bike from Pedal Force is actually a little more expensive and you dont get the nice paint job either from Pedal Force.

Stuck between two frame sizes
Published (2009-11-27 12:04:00)
Now that more facts have come out I have no idea what has you thinking you're between those two sizes actually. Is it because the 56 comes stock with a 100 but 110 is a little better for you? I wouldn't worry about that. You might end up using the 100 anyway if you end up lowering the handle bars. Not even being able to get to KOPS and a 90 on the other hand, I'd worry about.

Elite makes some tri-bikes with an 80 mm bottom bracket drop, which is a lot. Too lazy to figure out their road bike BB drops—the Elite road bike geometry page gives BB height in the BB drop column. They need a good editor.
For what it's worth, the classic formula for BB drop in millimeter was 240 minus envisioned crank length for a specific size frame. So for 170 mm cranks, that would ...

We all like what we like so I ask why 953 over Ti? I don't see the advantage unless you have to have steel. Do you trust your builder? If he says 953 is fragile do you believe him or customers who have 953's
Go to NAHBS in feb. All the resources you could ask for will be in front of you.

Checked out the Wilier Iozard at one lbs today. I was originally looking at
a Look 585. The Wilier Iozard grabbed my attention me as I was speaking to
the store owner about the Look bike. It has a similar top tube like the
Tarmac but as I looked closer I was impressed with the details of the frame
and fork and paint job. I will be test riding one this weekend after it
stops raining. The frameset ...

I can tell you that the 595 is a lot stiffer than the 585 (I ride the 585 origin which will feel a little stiffer than the optimum) - hope that helps some.
The 585 is a great all around - does everything well.
I'm sure the Parlee is a great bike as well - have no personal experience.

Find a shop that you can trust for a fit session (as though you were going to buy custom frame). Should cost you $100-$200. Trust me, it will be money well spent - better than spending it on a parts upgrade.
That info should help you find a bike that would fit you best. Ask your fit guy to make recommendations about geometry that would complement the type of riding you do. Learn about BB...

Typically, most people go a size down on their tri bikes vs. their road bikes. However, some companies (Cervelo comes to mind) adjust the top tubes on their tri bikes accordingly so you don't have to size down.
Take a look at the geometry charts on bikes your are interested in and check their tob tube heights. Another thing to take in consideration is the the head tube length. Tri bikes ...

In this case I think I would go with the 56. A 110 step is in the middle of
the range and typically will provide better steering than a short
stem.....although 90 is not short it is at the low end of the range.
Another option would be to look for a 57cm bike....Giant for example.

Also test road:
2009 Scott Speedster S20 with Ultegra-105 mix components. $1400.
2009 Cannondale Six 5 with Ultegra-105 mix components including 105 crank and wheels. $1499.
Just to prove how bad I am at telling bikes apart, all 5 of these bikes felt pretty equal in terms of comfort. The ones that where full carbon had slightly less road buzz, but I couldn't tell a significant ...

Uh, $250 is not a lot of money for a paint job, much less a carbon repair.

It varies by location but not all group rides are accepting of tri/tt bikes, but plenty of them are as well, maybe check with someone who participates in the rides you would be interested in doing. Generally I would say a tri bike is less than optimal in a group but that has a lot to do with the makeup of the group, where they ride and so on.
