After IMTX this weekend I plan on selling my road bike and getting a dedicated tri bike. Since it was my first year in triathlon, I bought the roadie (2017 BMC Teammachine SL02) thinking it would be good for groups and races. After 8 months with the bike I’ve found I’ve done more triathlon races than I have roadie group rides.
I’d like to get a 1x set up, but finding complete bikes for sale has been scant to none, and none in my price range ($1,200-1,800).
Do people just love their 1x so much they never part with them, or do they modify them to a 2x set up prior to sale?
Is it going to be easier to build a 1x on an old frame set than it will be to buy one?
