Hello.
I wonder if anyone can give me some good advice?
I've been rowing for years and am now looking to move into road racing and triathlon. However, I know nothing about bike equipment.
I have always borrowed bikes whenever I have had the opportunity to cycle but now want to get my own.
What should I do? where do I start? I'm conscious that I could spend a fortune on getting a bike but don't think I would notice the difference between the best and entry level bikes at my level. I asked in a shop earlier but felt they just wanted to sell me the most expensive kit they had....
I'm looking to do about 100-200 miles/week (about half on rollers) as I'll also be covering some distance swimming, running and erging. I do take my training seriously, so wouldn't want something that isn't durable.
I guess I can afford between £300-£500 ($500-$800) - not a lot from what I can tell - but money is tight.
I just don't know where to start - can anyone help?
