Hello, I am looking to buy a road bike since I've been riding my moutain bike over 800 miles in 3 months. I am getting into Triathalon, and doing a long ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles in September. I honestly don't want to spend more than $1200. But if I have to spend over $1200 I will buy Giant TCR Composite series, but I really would like to keep my budget below $1200. Keep in mind I don't know much of road bikes, so u can definetly recommand me other bikes.
Also would i feel the difference in between full carbon(giant composite one) and the Aluminum/carbon?
These are 3 bikes I am looking at this point.
