S/H might be the best option. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1617#post-15677 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:58:33 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 15677@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No, indeed not. Lot of climbing on the 56 mile route as well, so I think something with a triple would be good (had looked at Raleigh, they DO have something with a compact double which might suit AND fits into budget). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1617#post-15675 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:55:27 +0000 chdot 15675@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Shouldn't that be Ironwoman??</p> <p>Don't expect it would be carbonfibrewoman on that budget. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1617#post-15674 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:52:46 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 15674@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Got asked by a friend to help out finding a bike she needs for doing an Ironman next year (she's insane, takes on these challenges, and somehow does really well in them despite, by her own admission, not really having a clue when it comes to distances and training and so on).</p> <p>Anyway, budget is tight. Sub £400 preferably, but could squeeze it up to £500...</p> <p>I've been looking most particularly at 2010 models that might be replaced soon and so are being sold off, but thought I'd fall back on the knowledge of the forum since this isn't really my area! </p>
