Hey everyone, it's me your know it all who has no actual experience with triathlons. Trying to figure out what the move is gonna be for getting a bike. budget? HA good one, ATM I have approximately negative dollars but would still like to look for a bike so I can give my track coach's bike back so he can train himself. I'm really not interested at all in an entry level bike like not at all at all. My main concern is whether to get a tri bike or a road bike, I see that lots of people tend to train on a road bike and just use the tri for races. Since I don't plan on actually being fully dedicated to racing triathlons for at least 3 years (finishing college as a track runner whilst training for tri) I'm not sure if it's worth it to get a tri bike or just get a road bike which I'm sure would suffice for any local or less competitive races I compete in for now. I also have the luxury of asking my coach for his bike for races if need be. All I currently have is a fixed gear bike that I use to ride around campus and get to class and while I have done 30+ mile rides on it, after using the multi thousand dollar triathlon bike I can't go back to that lol. Let me know what you guys think/recommend/advice whatever. Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a common question.
If anyone is wondering my swimming training is going great :)
