For what it’s worth, all videos over 30 min.

Is there any trick with respect to the virgin active online videos and vitality? I only came across this thread yesterday and have now “watched” 6+ videos but cannot see any record on the virgin app or on the disco app. Am I missing anything? Thanks.

If trailwarrior doesn't take it let me know please.

Hi coppi, where did you start? Is there safe parking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They do look cool I admit. So, having done an IM and presuming you will do more, if your road bike got stolen and you were to replace (only worrying about tri’s) would you replace with another road bike or a tt bike? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bike rental is a brilliant idea, thanks.

This is why I am so cautious on the Canyon and/or online buy despite having all measurements.

Thanks for the feedback. I have done enough reading to know that I would regret spending huge money on a aero bike. I have now done the Rockman and Redhub Tri's on the MTB and I'm positive enough to say I will be committed enough to the Tri's that a TT bike is justified. Will look at an el chepo road bike in time for group riding etc. My biggest fear is to spend a cent on a new or second hand bike and make a novice mistake.

Next race would be the Redhub and Trinity in April. Those two I'll slog it out on the MTB if I had to. Then Bela Bela where ideally I would like a proper MTB. Will think about Sun City in May if i get enough time on a new bike. Not keen on 90km on a MTB.

Hi Guys, New to the triathlon scene. I need to buy a bike and looking at triathlon specific. I have been looking around and come across Scott (out of price range), Cannondale (didn't appeal to me), Specialized Shiv (looks ok but no stock), Fuji (waiting on quote) and the Argon 18 E117. Out of the lot I prefer the Argon. This it seems will set me back about R46k for a standard set up, 105 components. I came across the Canyon thread and browsed around on their site. Falling in my budget I can get the Speedmax CF 8.0 with a landed cost of approximately R50k. On the whole better components and wheels than the Argon. This will just mean abit longer wait before my race or I just continue on the MTB for now. I know nothing about bikes and obviously am therefore worried about sizing if I go for the Canyon. What would you guys and girls suggest in this price range between the two? Or if i have overlooked any other brand? I don't mind 2nd hand either if i can get a decent bike for a good price. However if the difference is 15 - 20 k and it means the newer one will last me longer, I'm happy ( or rather prepared) to spend on new. Being new to the tri scene all the options and so on have been somewhat of a minefield and will appreciate any advise. Thanks.

cool, thanks for the replies Thanks for the reply. Then its just bike shopping. On that note I can get a Giant SL 6000 Trinity with 105 components for 10k. (with mavic Kysrium wheels). Pristine condition. I know its a old bike but enough of a good deal? Or do i rather fork out more?
