Specialized Tarmac Expert 2015 Deal?

[sgillmer]

Hi All,

 

I am looking for a bike that can be used for road and and triathlon rides (add tri bars). I am wondering if R42,000 for the specialized tarmac expert (2015) is a good deal and the right bike?

 

Here are the specs (http://www.specialized.com/za/en/bikes/road/tarmac/tarmac-expert#specs). The price also includes a pedals, a fitting and bottle cages.

 

Any comments or thoughts appreciated?

 

Regards,

Sean

Nice bike, but if triathlon is your aim, you might be better off with an aero bike like the Specialized Venge. Not sure how the 2 compare price wise.

Yes a Venge would be your weapon of choice.

 

A few nice ones in the classifieds.
