I did the Okoboji tri last weekend. And I knew I was having a great bike leg of the race when everyone around me was riding a $8,000 tri bike. If you are not familiar with his sport $6,000 to $8,000 is what you need to plan on spending if you want to get a carbon fiber bike with the right wheels.
Where do they get this money? It’s like I am doing races with a bunch of millionaires. Is the economy really that bad? BTW I do not ridea $6,000 bike. Although I am riding on a set of $2500 rims thanks to my brother Kevin. I have Zipps 404 which are are on loan while my brother Kevin decides if he wants to install a new hip.
