Which is the better triathlon bicycle?

I was planning on purchasing the Giant Trinity 2 triathlon cycle but the bike shop sold the bike out from under me and I decided on getting the Specialized Transition E5 Comp. I know the Specialized cost more than the Giant, but I was just wondering which bike would have been the best purchase for the dollar.

e.g.
The Trinity weighs more and has a 9 speed system and the Specialized has the 10 speed set up which is better for derailer upgrades.

Just wondering what some knowledgeable people might have to say about these bikes.

I own a Mountain Bike and would rather not have to spend money on a new road bike, just wanted to see from people that have done triathlon if you see people riding these kinds of bikes and if there’s any problems using them? Would rather get better road tires then spend 400-1000 bucks on a new bike, thanks

What are the best sources of information on how to select and buy the right road bike for triathlon use?

I am a serious age group athlete generally finishing in the top 20% of my group. Even after several years of competing I still feel seriously ignorant about bikes. I know I need a new one, but I don’t know where to start with research etc. My top priorities are FIT (my current bike never fit properly and holds me back) and, ease of use (maintenance, tire changing). Yes, this is important to me. The amount of info out there is overwhelming so advice on where to start, what questions to ask, what to read, etc. is very welcome. I do Olympic and half Ironman distances but will work up to my first full IM in ’07 or ’08. So new, good bike is critical. Thanks.
