Any Bike recommendations for Tri-Newbies?Discussion started by kellydigital |
Subject Description
I'd like to know more information about whether I should get a road/tri bike. Is there anywhere you can try out a tri bike to see if it is a good fit? Is it a good idea to buy used? What should I look out for.

I would go ride a few at your local bike shop see what feels good to you. If you plan to do Tri only then I would look at getting at Tri bike. I personally to Tri's and recreational Road and prefer the Road bike for the ability to climb canyons and versatality. I would rent for your first race to see if it is something you will continue to love. Posted by ryder88 on Jul. 12, 2008 at 03:43PM |

Or better yet..buy a used road bike with some cheap aero bars (sub $100) ... then after your first race/season if your still hooked... splurge.
I bought a great bike on craiglist saved $500 off list price and added lots of accessories (shoes, tires, packs, aero, bottles, etc)
