Blue Competition Cycles is a new name to the cycling and triathlon scene in the west, but with the backing of professional triathletes like the US national team, XTERRA Pro and former national champ Seth Wealing and the Colavita professional team there is a solid pedigree of experience for the designers at Blue to rely on.

The T14 is Blue’s newest go-fast bike aimed towards triathletes. The 7005 series aluminum front triangle is shaped to minimize drag and houses internal cables (as a mechanic they’re some of the easiest internal cables to work with) and matches to a bladed carbon seatpost with a three position head. The seatstays and chain stays are high-modulus Aerus Composites Carbon fiber and are aggressively shaped as well to match the full-carbon aero bladed front fork. The end result is a light, solid frame that is more comfortable than a solid aluminum frame and won’t break the bank.

Unlike many other “triathlon” bikes that are geared towards traditional time trials, the T14 has the adjustability to be set up with a super steep (80+ degrees) or slack (74 degrees) seat tube angle because of the 3 position seatpost. No more riding on the nose of your saddle! Anyone who has had the frustration of an ill fitting bike can attest that the T14’s flexibility is its greatest feature.
