Good morning gents,
I took all information into consideration and ended up going the Tri Bike rout.
I purchased a 2014 Shiv in great condition around a month ago, spent a few weeks dialing it in and then competed in a Cal Tri sprint event.
This was a learning experience as I went not to race but to figure everything out for my first triathlon.
Learned a ton and ended up getting 59 out of 356.
Thanks for all the information provided as it definitely changed what I was going for.
Much Appreciated !
