Help! I've turned 40 and turned all triathlon on myself!!! What's happened. Just done my second one on the Isle of Wight (did the London in Aug) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Any help,advice, guidance on purchasing a decent bike? I'm going to the bike show in Islington this weekend to have a look, though I realise they're expensive. Anyone got anything in the back of their garage they don't use??

personally i think you can get a perfectly good bike in the range £600 - £1,000, although i wouldn't spend less than that as you'll be itching to upgrade within 2 months
second hand can give good value
currently i'm on a trek 1500 that i really like, except i'm probably going to switch to bar end shifters (from simple bridged bolt-on tri bars)
it was slightly out of the price range above, but i bet i could have got the next model down and not noticed much of a difference
easier on hands and knees, too
Well you can do that if you want, but I find cycling much much quicker ! ;-)
If you know what size you are after - have a look in Cycling Weekly (out Thurs) for 2nd hand racers.
my word an amusing scouser... tarby, doddy and the rest must be worried!
Ta for the info re the mag.
