I'm thinking of entering a triathlon in the future, but need to get a bike first. I found a used
Cannondale Criterium in my price range. Are these good for beginner triathletes? If not what brands
/ models should I look for? thanks, Carlton.
 
that's a great bike for you- good lightweight frame. obviously, just make sure it fits you- you can
tweak it out with components, but that is a great, lightweight frame- I rode one of these for many
years. in the future, if you want to go to more of a time-trial-type frame, you can always use the
cannondale as a road bike.

since it is several years old, be very careful to inspect all of the stress areas- bottom bracket,
seat tube, rear stays, for any sign of a crack, etc.
