Too many to list, and if you are trying to migrate shifting and braking to the bars, completely different animal. Easier if you have electronic shifting but if tri bars are your everyday desired setup bike reconfiguring will be needed and the seat tube angle is problematic even with available slammed forth posts and shallow rail seat. On a road bike w regular reach stem..like 100,110,120 you are super super stretched out and besides no lateral stability, you can't get your hips in front of the bob to generate any power. Many people permanently or for a race will slam seat forward and get the position that way. I have a 130 on my bike and modern positioning has my seat moved forward by over 15mm and seat tilted ever so slightly down. I can feel my body trying to push back against the seat more than previous position.
Most of the dedicated triathlon bikes have a super super steep seat tube angle and laid back fork rake or head tube angle so you are not crashing all the time or feel like you are turning a unicycle.

The tip of the saddle is at the bob line, as if your hips are even with the bottom bracket!! Not me!! That bike has your shoulders and head too much to the front of the bike for me!! Crash city!!
