Hello,
After recently completing my first marathon I have decided to look for some new challenges, and interested in getting into to Triathlons. I am setting a target for next year to complete my first, and the dream would be to do an iron man one day.
I have a lot of work to do as I am a terrible swimmer, and not cycled on the road for a while.
I have started looking into buying a road bike. I thought about a tri bike, but it sounds like a road bike is the best option to get started.
I am thinking about purchasing a Jamis Xenith Comp 2013, does anyone know if that's a decent road bike, cant say I have ever heard of Jamis before? Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks
Kev

Shop ? Recommendation ?
What's your budget ?
There's quite alot to think about so maybe a Tri starter package would be a good option for you.
Something like this ( shop around though)
