Subject: Road Bike Help Hello all,
I recently introduced myself here (I'm brand new to triathlons ).
I am needing to buy a bike for an Ironman series 70.3, and also a bike in general to train on. I've researched a ton, and the majority of what I've read suggests getting a road bike, and buying some clip-on aero bars for it. I'm okay with this, but don't really know where to begin in buying "the right road bike".
There are a few bikes I'm interested in, that won't break by bank. I know the basics of what to look for, but still don't know if these bikes are quality.
Are "lesser" expensive road bikes still decent? The bikes I'm looking at range in price from $500-$1000. I don't want to spend a ton, as I am new to this and just want a solid bike to get me started.
Any advise would be appreciated, as well as recommendations for bikes.
Thanks! |
