...just wanted to guage the views of my learned fellow triathletes. Am about to take the plunge and get a half decent bike and have narrowed it down to two options (I appreciate there are dozens of others but I have to start somewhere!)
Option 1...2005 Cannondale Six13 ex-team bike so used, but in great condition, Shimano 105 Compact £899
Option 2...Brand new Planet X Superlight Carbon with Ultegra (I can spec the groupset) £999
There you go - I'd really welcome some thoughts on the options. It seems the C'dale is a fabulous frame with huge upgrade potential, but I am tempted by the shiny black of Planet X and the reviews seems great so far too! Am not really into Aero bars yet, just looking for a nice £1000 bike to learn the ropes and get fit with...
Not easy having so much choice...
