Subject: RE: Newbie bike question Can i say "it depends"? It is an off-brand bike with a kickstand... How newbie are you? If you are looking to do your first triathlon, then really any bike will do. It seems like this bike would fit you, but a lot more goes into bike fitting then just your height and weight. I would bet for a couple hundred dollars more that you could get a lightly used bike that has a more recognizable name brand (without a kickstand ) and better components (not all shimano are created equal ) that would be faster and more reliable. But I don't know what your budget is...
As always, I would recommend getting a bike fit first, but it isn't cheap and I did not do that for my first bike, although I ended up buying another bike just two years later that fit me better. |
