Well done, DP. :) I suggest putting that response in the "Best Posts Ever" list.
For your friend who is Tri-curious: have him buy a reliable, "heavier than necessary" bike (Atlantis, Sam with drops and shifter/brakes or even a Roadeo) so that he can train on it. It's "weight training" or "train heavy, race light", or whatever. In preparation for race days, he can rent a super specific Tri bike from the LBS for a week or so (to give time to get used to the handling). Then the Atlantis gets ridden often, is ready for more adventures after Tri season is over, and will last him a lifetime. -Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Friday, May 1, 2015, Amit Singh <asd...@gmail.com> wrote: > He has a budget of $3,000 and wants to buy a "tri-bike" and wants your > advice on what to get. > > What do you tell him? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','rbw-owners-bunch%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com');> > . > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com');>. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
