i understand the seating, handlebars and body position for these bikes are the reason for they way it is
but putting that aside, anyone know of any road bikes or even a mountain bike that LOOKS like these?
would buy in a heartbeat lol

There's a few bikes out there with thick lower frames, then you can add the wheels.

If you want to get a triathlon bike, I would definitely recommend trialling the posture though, on long rides it can be really uncomfortable. There's a reason hardly anyone rides them.

Hmmm... kinda hard then. You gotta figure out exactly what you like about a TT bike and look for that in a road bike. Is it wheels, thick frame, areo bars, seat?

Only other thing I can suggest is that you might get a more upright posture on a tri bike than TT. The link I posted is actually a tri bike.
