I'm looking at an upgrade from a specialized road bike to the K-Factor and have heard a few things. 1) the difference in riding comfort from a road bike to a tri bike...any thoughts here for those of you who've made the switch? 2) I've heard negative reviews on customer service and ability to get parts for Kuota's...any feedback on this? I have a few people who are trying to disuade my decision from Kuota and just need the full lowdown from those of you who own one.<br />Thanks in advance!<br />KellyPurduePV13https://www.blogger.com/profile/17893342969044146304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508284748757583481.post-69289440952526012672008-12-29T08:02:00.000-06:002008-12-29T08:02:00.000-06:00I just upgraded from a road bike with clip-on aero...I just upgraded from a road bike with clip-on aero bards to this K-Factor SL (2008 model closeout). It is a night and day difference in comfort. I would suggest anyone that hasn't ridden a true tri bike to test drive one of these at their local bike shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508284748757583481.post-23371974627908413922008-07-23T12:59:00.000-05:002008-07-23T12:59:00.000-05:00Hey Tom, how was the bike in the ironman.

The first time I rode my K-Factor it just felt right and I knew it was the right bike for me. I cry now when it has to go in the shop because it means I don't get to go out on rides for a few days. Doing a 70.3 Ironman on it in 1 week. Really excited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
