Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
Some background, I am from Calgary Alberta Canada.
I just started doing Triathlon's this year, I have done 3 of them so far. For the Triathlon's I was renting a road bike each time. It is time to buy one so I can train properly.
I am on a budget, and i have limited it down to the Specialized Allez and the Jamis Ventura.
Is there one someone recommends ? I am going to use the bike, and then next year if I want to upgrade the components of the bike I will.
Any suggestions ?
Also, I have been told to get the smallest frame possible for my size (6'2, 196 pounds). Any opinions on this ?
Thanks in advance !!
