Subject: Can you help me narrow down my tri bike choices?I live in NH and have been doing sprint and olympic triathlons for the past few years and want to do a half ironman this summer or next summer. I own a road bike and want to get a tri bike at some point. I do this for fun to stay in shape, I usually place between the MOP and BOP. I had a bike fit performed on me and they recommended these bikes: Specialized Transition XL 2010/2011 Blue T14 L Argon 18 L Cannondale Slice 58 Kuota K Factor L Orbea Ordu 57 Trek Speed Concept L I am overwhelmed at the thought of researching these to figure out what bike to get. I don’t want to buy the most obscure bike because when the day comes that I decide to upgrade or sell my bike, I want to make sure there is a market to sell it. I also don’t need to get the fastest most expensive bike. I certainly want to improve, but if a $5000 bike make me a minute faster than a $3000 bike then I want to get the $3000 bike. Basically I want to get the one that gives me the most bang for my buck. Could someone make a recommendation? Or at least eliminate some bikes and give me the top three options? I really appreciate the help! |
