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

Don't forget the bike-to-work scheme too, if you are in a company that does it, save a few bob.
