I have been a mountain biker for several years, but am making my first foray into the world of roadbikes. I am doing this partly because I am starting to do sprint triathlons and need the road bike functionality for it.
My dilemma is this. For the same price, I can get a 5-year old Trek 2000, which probably has modern components and relatively modern angles. Or, I can get a more "vintage" Colagno road bike, with a bunch of Campi components. I estimate that Colgano to be from the late 70's, but not sure.
So tell me, experts, what do I do? Shave a few seconds off my triathlon time with the Trek, or ride an older but higher-end brand in the Colagno???
Thanks!!!
