Ribble Ultra Race for Full Ironman Distances

Has anyone got the Ribble Ultra Race? How have you found using it? How does it suit as a bike for a full ironman?

I'm looking at doing the UK Ironman Races next year, and I'm in need of a new bike. TT bikes are out of my price range, and I'm wondering if the comfort of a road bike is a better choice?

The ultra race has an intergrated cockpit so I couldnt get clip on aerobars on it, so would be living in the hoods and drops.

I love the look of the bike, and as a road bike it feels like a great deal. My concen is, over 90-180km that it's going to cause too much upper body fatigue and harper the run?

Heathrow to Tokyo seats 59B/C

Has anyone ever used these seats in economy?

I've booked them for a return flight from Heathrow to Tokyo next year, and i've noticed it says they're restricted recline.

How restricted are they?
