hi mr and mrs tri,
i would love a nice light racing bike for next season's tri season. but i have to wait for the sales of 06 or 05 bikes. When is the best time to jump on a bargain, what time of the year does this happen? If at all? I am prepared to spend up to £550. Any ideas please?
Thanks for your time.[;)]

Enjoy shopping... spend as much as you can afford and then spend 10% extra... it'll be worth it!
Thanks for your help. i like the 10% stretch! Is there any make in particular you or some other tri guy would recommend in the 500-600 quid range....focus - bianchi - specialized - trek?
keep up the good work

click on frame size and input the details. Note its not your trouser inside leg measurement - theres instructions on how to take the right measurement.
Once you know your frame size you can then start thinking about makes and models.

Saw a nice lookinf CUBE on JE James cycles the other day and I think it was only £450. If only I had the cash and not another bike.
Might be stating the obvious by does your work do "cycle to work scheme" (or can you get them to do it [:D]!!) Did mine through cyclesurgery and saved loads...
If you can stretch to £650 I would recommend the Trek 1.5 - only done a few hundred miles on it but I love it!
Happy hunting.
Will.
