llanterme Posted April 29, 2015 Share Hi All I am sure this topic has been debated to death, but cant for the life of me track down a thread. With that said, I am looking for some advice regarding a bike I can use for 70.3 / Ironman and standard Olympic triathlons. I am not looking for a TT bike, but more a 'aero' bike with agents available in Cape Town. Thus far, I am considering the following 2:Scott Foil 20 Giant TCR Advanced 2 CompactBoth seem to be in the similar price range (20 - 24k) and offer similar aero frame designs. Perhaps any other bike I am not considering? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyper667 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Have a look at the Giant Propel Advanced. I believe the Advanced 2 goes for around 25k? Big step up from the TCR. I recently bought the Advanced 0 which provides you with the option to have your shifters on both the TT bars and brake levers. A more expensive option though.

Had a look at the propel 2 and it goes for around R36-40k.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyper667 Posted April 29, 2015 Share That's strange. I bought a Propel 0 2 weeks ago for R40k? When I was phoning around for prices, there was a R5k difference between various shops, but the Propel 2 was definately a fair bit under R30k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted April 29, 2015 Share Propel FTW!!! Not sure on pricing but the merida reacto is also an aero frame. llanterme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
