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.</p> ryder88 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:43:55 -0600 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/32/subjects/479 1192
