Hi Mal, Do you use it only for Tri's or for commuting as well? I'll be using my bike for a combination of both which is why I'm not looking specifically at tri/time trial bikes. That does sound like a bargain though. Nice one!

I use it for commuting to work every 2 or 3 days(30k each way). I found it more comfortable than the ocr or tcr frames. the aero has slightly different geometry. I don't actually do tri's at present, may in future and this gives me the option. Regards Mal |

Re: Buying a road bike
Hi everyone,
Thanks to everyone for your advice!! I went out yesterday and finally bought my bike and am very excited about it! I finally decided on the Giant TCR1 one after taking it for a ride. Bought it from Lygon St Cycles for a pretty good price: Bike plus other bits and pieces including shoes, computer, cages, repair kit etc.. for $2655. Not bad considering the bike retails for $2600! Now I just can't wait to pick it up and get out on the road. Thanks again to everyone for your help! Cheers.

Re: Buying a road bike
Hi people.
Well thanks also to this website for all it's information. I had been looking for a while now....(2-3 years) and finally bought a Giant OCR1. Got it for $1,485 on sale. Not bad, so I ended up getting all my accessories and things for about the same price as I was originally going to buy the bike for! Can't wait to try it out now. See you on the road. |
