Need som help

Hello
I have been training hard for two years to participate in the differents triathlon during the season of 2004.

When I begun to train I got a GURU BIKE old model. I added a carbon profile X and other stuff in order to improve the performace and mine as well

Now I think is time to take a further step and buy a newone bike so I need recomendations and orientation before making final decision.

I am 6,2 ft tall - 200 pounds - and my budget is around 2000 usd to 2200 usd

Please I would appreciate your advices

Raul

ok, can i clarify something? it sounds like you've trained, but haven't raced yet?

if this is the case i'd say try a race using your exisitng bike to make sure it's a sport that you want to invest another 2,000 usd into.

unless your bike is in need of serious repairs, i'd say use it, at least for your first race.

A decent starter tri bike, for about 1000 usd, if one feels they must race with a new ride, but are unsure they will continue in tri racing. It is a Tri that easilty converts to a road bike, with a dual rail saddle/seatpost (for a forward tri position or conversly, a rear road position) assembly, easily removeable aero bars, Dura Ace STI component group, and aero rims. It received great reviews and is a good bang for the dollar bike manufactured by KHS. Check out www.KHS.com
