WTD: Road Bike for Tri Training

Whyner

Howdy,

I'm new to cyling and am looking for an all rounder to train on over the winter and race in triathlons next year (more finish than compete)

I'm 6'. Would consider aluminium or carbon. I've a budget of approx €1,500. I'm looking for something that is ready to go and requires no work. Well serviced and treated like a baby...

Reply or PM please

Cheers...

I`ve a 59cm Bianchi Impulso for sale if you are interested. Alu frame, Shimano 105 front & rear meachs, levers & 53/39 chainset. Has mudguards on it making it ideal or winter training. Is 2 years old & have just had it serviced & a new chain put on.

If you interest is triathlon pick up a second hand Road Bike for €500 or so that'll serve you well over the winter and pick up a Tri Bike while you're at it.

Also now is the time to pick up a tri bike as it's off season.

If you're only interested in a road bike plenty of nice new bikes within your budget.

I have a couple of 58cm Sensa Toscana bikes to sell.
They're full carbon with full 105 10 speed groupset. They are ex-rental bikes and have only been used for some sprint and Olympic triathlons. Not getting the business so selling them off! Only a couple of hundred kilometres on them and ready to go. Looking for 900 euro for each.
I also have two 55cm ones with Ultegra 11 mix for 1100 if anyone's interested.

I've a Canyon Ultimate AL with Ultegra Di2 that I am contemplating getting rid of over the winter in time for a new Bike to Work scheme next year. Changed the stock wheels to 35mm Shimano RS81 so would be decent for triathlons next year for you. Bike is 2 years old (didn't buy it on bike to work) and wheels are 1 year old. I'm 6ft3....it's an XL and theres plenty of wiggle room in it so bound to be able to set it up aggressively enough for both winter training and triathlons. PM me if interested

Thank you but that sounds a bit too much for my first road bike
