Subject: First Timer / Hybrid Bike Quick question regarding the bikes. I start training for my first tri this week and have a Giant Cypress DX Hybrid about one year old. I am very hesitant to sink $700 to over $1000 into a new bike until I found out how I will take to tri's.
For those that may have completed their first tri on something other than a road or tri bike what should I expect? What are the drawbacks for training as well as the race? Any other tips / hints would be helpful so anyone feel free to throw them out there.
Thanks! |
