Often I get asked by friends getting into triathlon whether or not they should purchase a tri-bike. In short, I don't recommend them for not elite-level triathletes; this video explains why the gains aren't worth the price.
Margins Gains Don't Make Sense For The Average Person
A tri-specific bike without a proper fit and deep carbon wheels is likely a slower overall system than a modern road bike with deep carbon wheels, a proper fit, and a power meter.
The Training
Tri-bikes are inherently hard to train on. If you live in a hilly area, the gearing of tri-bikes will make it difficult to put in long days. Often road bikes are more comfortable and geared better for training.
The Difference
The aerodynamic advantages of a tri-bike frame are negated by poor bike fit, non-aero wheels, and lack of proper training. Getting a "budget" tri bike is likely slower than investing in your current road bike.
$4k - $5k Investment
When considering the bike, the fit, the aero wheels, and an aero helmet, you will spend upwards of $5K to get an excellent tri-bike setup. That might not include a power meter.
Make Up The Gap
If you spend your money upgrading your road bike with deep carbon aero wheels, a power meter, an aero helmet, and aero clothing, you will make up many of the advantages of a tri-bike.
Losing Game
Tri-bikes depreciate at much rate than a traditional road bikes. With this in mind, be prepared to lose 30% - 70% of your tri-bike's value within three years of purchase.
Remember, no bike will make up a bad day in the run.
