I’m looking for my first road bike as I want to begin training for and participating in triathlons. I know that these bikes are not specific triathlon bikes but I don’t want to spend that much money to start off with. These are the three options I have found so far, if anyone could provide some advice as to which is the best for my needs and the best value.
#1 Specialized Allez (Black) with no brakes equipped – €250
#2 Cannondale Synapse – €350
#3 Specialized Allez (Red) – €400
My immedia reaction is to go for the Cannondale as I can see it has disk brakes rather than the rim brakes on the red Allez. But please tell me if I’m wrong.

Last one has a more relaxed riding position, better for a first bike. Also the synapse is carbon be carefull not to stack, also I’m not a fan of disk brakes on road bikes, unless your gonna put some thicker tread tires on it and go on gravel, then it would be cool.
