Tri Bike Makers and Club Demographics
In an effort to create a research starting point for members looking to buy a tri bike, in August of 2008 I asked LA Tri Club members to tell me their tri-bike make and model. Here is a list of triathlon bike makers, from the mass made to the custom. Of 63 respondents, the number in parenthesis indicate the number of tri club members who ride that brand.
