Hi all,
Following the completion of my first ever tri this year, the good ol' London Olympic Distance, i would like to give it another go. After taking a months holiday to Borneo, snorkelling and chilling out in the sun in the 4 weeks before 2010's race, i figured i may actually train this time and go for a decent(ish) time. This will also include riding a bike that i have actually seen before the event!
Now, the problem i have is budget. I have seen the afore mentioned bike on a few websites, and it is by FAR the cheapest out there ... which leads to my next question - is there a reason for this? Are there no sub £500 bikes for a reason?
If anyone has any experience of this bike, i would be grateful to hear about it. Also if anyone has any ideas of a cheap bike that i can get hold of, again i would love to hear them. I'm open to 2nd hand, but am a bit nervous of ebay (which seems pretty expensive anyway) due to being stung in the past, any other sites you could recommend?
Thanks in advance

Try and find your local bike shop, or a local cycling club, they may well have a few 2nd hand bikes for sale.
Alternatively have a look in the classifieds in cycling weekly.
Personally I'd still plump for ebay. Just go for someone with lots of positive feedback. It's where I buy/ sell most of my bikes and I've never experienced a problem.
Good luck
