Need some suggestions on what to buy for a first tri bike.
I'm a pretty competitive runner for my age group in Central Florida, but have gotten into sprint tri's for cross training over the summer months. I might eventually do an olympic but really have zero interest in 70.3 or IM distances.
Obviously fit comes first but I'm not looking to break the bank either. Right now I'm on a 56cm Felt FR which works great for group and longer rides, but I want something I can hammer on for 30-60 minute LT level efforts. Am I better off buying a lower priced new bike with decent specs like the Motobecane Nemesis or A2 Speed Phreak for $1200-$1700 or shopping the used market for something like a S32/Transition/Trinity at around $600-$1000?
