I am competing in the 40km TT in the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne on 21st March and need to hire/rent/borrow a road bike for the 10 days prior to the race so that i can continue to train as normal prior to the race. I am happy to place a deposit on the bike cover the 100% cost of the bike. I raced in the Triathlon in the Manchester Commonwealth Games but i had spinal surgery in November 2004 (L5 S1 discectomy which caused an S1 radiculopathy) and my right calf muscle is slightly weak and affects my running performance so i have reluctantly switched to the TT in order to make the team to Melbourne. I will be racing on my Cervelo P3C on race day but because of the back surgery i prefer to train on a standard frame as it puts less pressure on my spine. All i am looking for is a 54cm (or even 52cm) road bike with preferably 172.5mm cranks.
Thanks,
Chris.
