Hi everyone Picked up this thread and thought it might be the best place to get my cycling knowledge off the ground. I'm a fitness freak, traditionally focused on strength, running and swimming, but given the Ironman bug has bitten me, I need to jump on a bike and start what I believe is pure joy. And that leads me to my next question, what bike?. Seems the decision is not as easy as what I would have thought, but I have done plenty research, viewings and test rides and have come up with the following shortlist: SWIFT Carbon UltravoxPinarello MarvelMerida Reacto (stock is an issue)Components (Ultegra 11) and the pricing are pretty much identical. Would really appreciate the communities feedback and comments regarding this, as I need some experienced advice, or any other advice for an extreme newbie such as myself.
