I am looking for my first bike. I will ultimately be using this for (very beginner) triathlon training. I live in the Midwest, so terrain all around is flat. I will be riding it primarily on roads, maybe very occasionally on trails.
I have a tight budget – $400 strict, preferably a little less so I have room for tune-up, etcetera. These are two bikes for sale used in my area, in my size. Both $350 list price.
Bike 1: 2012 Bianchi Campione D’Italia
Lots of miles on it, but description says regularly maintained.
Bike 2: Cannondale Quick 4 unknown year (probably mid 2010’s?)
Claims it has only been used once, essentially new
I really don’t know anything going into this, so any advice is appreciated!
