Looking for a tri bike on a <5k budget. What would you do-
1. Buy a new one (likely 105, likely to I’ll need wheel upgrades, et al.) or
2. Buy something older ?

If it’s option 1, any recommendations?

Pearls of knowledge..
👉Fit is #1! Budget for it and don’t get the cheap one.. more power, better position and won’t destroy your knees
💪🏻Power meter is priority #2
😉Helmet will do more in free speed and bang for the buck
💵Buy used as they lose value overnight
OSPW, BB, Di2, carbon wheels will all come with time. Pink Bike is a great spot to look

Or do what I did and get a second mortgage🤷‍♂️

My god those wheels 🤤🤤🤤

I like Option 1, but admit I’d have a hard time judging a pre-owned bike. If you’re more mechanically inclined, Optiom 2 will get you more for your spend.

I think Canyon Speedmax CF would also be a great option to look into, though I might budget for some new wheels.

I would buy used and maybe even buy it all separately and built up from frame.

I think tri and tt bikes can be had at a bargain used. You may want to upgrade parts after but I'd you know of what you are doing.

Thanks folks!
Where would you source a used bike from ? FB market place is kinda painful and I’m looking at local bike shops!

I’d check the Pro’s Closet for anything used. I think they guarantee/certify.

How do you try new bikes? A car you can jump in, move the seat and drive around. A bike needs a fit(something for another post), time and it’s impossible to ride all brands to see what “feels” best. Love my local bike shop, but they only sell Trek and are obviously biased.

Thoughts? Feel sac religious putting these on my gravel bike, hoping ya’ll will be honest. Only thing that might be more unholy is not wearing socks on a road bike 😎
