Subject: 74 or 78 degrees? Hi, I think that it was either 1990 or 91 when I bought my first road bike. It was a Peugot steel frame with Shimano 105. I bought the syntace tribars and was away. I later changed to tri-bikes from a soft-ride to a no-name aluminium frame with carbon spynergy wheels. Now that I'm back into triathlons after 12 years, my problem is that I could get a cheap 06-07 model road bike (about a 74 degree frame) with either Shimano 105 or ultegra for about NZ$1500 and customise it, getting tri-bars, shifters etc... or spend way more and get a tri-bike with a 78 degree frame. I don't want to spend the earth, so what do you guys recommend? |
