What road bike should I buy? Trek 1.2 vs. 2.1?
I am training for my first triathlon – Olympic distance – as part of Team in Training. Many team members have invested in the Nice triathlon bikes, but I can not afford that. I have an old Schwinn Frontier MTB. I said they could use this bike for a triathlon without any problem. The bike pretty people told me to put road wheels on it, the cages on the pedals, which start ready, add the owner of a water bottle … a few hundred dollars later I have an old heavy bike with updates too. Sorry … and I'm out $ 200 (so. .. now we are finally on the road training. This bike is too heavy, too bulky. I have decided to invest in a bike way road after spending too much on upgrades MTB lamented. Should I go with a woman specific adjustment 52 cm Trek 1.2 for $ 649 (sale) or a female 52cm setting specific Trek 2.1 for $ 1049 (sale)? Is the 1.2 is enough for a couple of years to see if you really love this sport and then buy a tri bike, or should I get a nicer road bike now? Help!
my wife is 1.2 ($ 649) walk, she Slovo, she is not an experienced pilot, but it is an amateur pilot who spends much time in the chair. she said that moves smoothly, and has really come to this bike as much. Trek has made this bike a few pounds slightly this year as well. all in all it is a very nice bike. I also do triathlons, I made my first two years last steel a 10 spd! my new cannondale should be a major upgrade (I left the road bike instead of a tri bike). but still fell in love with triathlons, including fuji in that age. good luck have fun and be careful, you'll get hooked on tris.
