Hey Guys,
Been cycling for a few months now on my frankenstein raleigh max (slicks/48T/12T gearing) and it's a great commuter, however i'm thinking about doing a triathlon next year.
I'm realtivily handy with the spanners, i've built this bike up from the rusty shed wreck it was, so it's not the technical side i'm concerned about, it's purely financial. I can pike up a road bike from around £300 ish but would i be better picking up a frame and kitting that out as a better value option (as i can fit it with a good drivetrain, rather than the cheap stuff that will be on cheaper bikes)
If so what frames should i be looking at? Where should i spend the money?
Thanks guys!
