    Hi,

    I am looking to buy a bike for triathlons. I have been to a number of shops looking for information on the best beginner bike. Obviously I dont want to spend a small fortune as I am only starting out, my budget would €1000 and under.
    I have been to a number of shops and I may as well be looking into a field, I dont know anything about bikes, and the shop assistants havent been great help, I went to a specialist shop and they recommended a Dolomiti and have looked and Felt too.
    Anyone have any recommendiations when they were starting out or what should I be looking for?
    Really appreciate it,
    thanks a million
