As title states I am looking for a new bike, interested in working up to Olympic or 70.3 this year. My current bike is to big for me, and I experience hand pain on rides, it was a hand my down so I am looking for my first purchase.
Bike 1: 2012 Giant Defy 2
– Priced at 400
– Fresh end to end tune up
Bike 2: 2007 Specialized Tarmac
– Priced at 500
– Comes with aero bars and tubes
Bike 3: 2005 Trek Madone 5.2 OCLV
– Priced at 425
I am not too experienced in bikes and that tech, but I am hoping to purchase something that will at least suit me for up to a 70.3. Not sure if there are differences in these bikes when it comes to tri functionality, but the Tarmac is listed as a triathlon bike. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
