Re: [WCCTriathlon] Looking for a used bike


Katie's suggestions is a good one -- No need to get a tri bike -- a fabulous road bike, adding aero bars is fine ------- Make sure you go for a carbon fork at least

Additionally, you might try to attend a local triathlon and just observe.  Also, visit bike stores and gather data!!  Look at bikes, tray a couple of 'em -- and talk to others about their choice in purchasing a bike!  Good luck!
