Subject: Upgrading bike question I just did my first tri a few weeks ago and already planning on several more next year, so I am adding a few things to my Raleigh Grand Prix. I can't afford to buy a new tri bike or even a new road bike right now and since my goals are finish and get more comfortable in competition, I don't really NEED a super fast, super light carbon bike right now. I have about a $120 to spend, a friend is selling me his aero bars that he no longer uses for $25. I have read that a forward seat post is something that I should consider, but my current seat is really getting to the end of its useful life, so would a seat post or seat be a better investment? Also with the seat post, can I use a forward angle seat post for regular road riding as well or will I need to change out seat posts all the time? Any other suggestions, other than wheels, that I should be considering give the above budget? Thanks. |
