Hi
I have done a small triatlon (1/10th of ironman) and I consider to buy a bike that I can use for daily transport (10 km per day) AND for small triatlons, probably up to roughly 60km bike. I would like to spend around 800 Eur. The only triatlon bike I have found in this price range is a Gavin ACELE TRI 2010 Road Bike - Shimano 105 / Carbon Forks:http://www.roadbikeoutlet.com/tri-bikes/gavin-accele-aluminium-road-racing-bike-shimano-105-carbon-forks-html.html
I have also tried a sportsbike, the Giant Rapid 2 which I really liked but I am not sure if it is good enough for my needs.

Is any of the two above mentioned good or is there something similar but better, or should I just try to find the best street bike on my budget? If so any specific recommendations?
thanks!
