I’m early in my triathlon experience. I used a simple commuter bike for some short tris but noticed that the geometry was a significant limiter to performance.
I’ve found a Van Rysel AF 105 in excellent condition on the local classifieds and the seller agreed to sell it for $900 Canadian Dollars. From my research, this is a really solid entry bike and excellent value. While I don’t have a big budget, I would love to one day complete a 70.3 and a full IM with whatever bike I get.
1) Thoughts on bike price and value and potential resell?
2) Do you imagine this bike would be able to produce a decent IM performance?
3) Any tips on inspecting a used bike on pick up?
Thanks in advance!
