Hi Guys

Looking to do my first triathlon in 2 months and after a new Road bike (first in 20 years), I have a budget of £600 and would like to buy new.

I have heard the Trek 1.2 is a good bike, but have just noticed the Battaglin Start at £499. I have never heard of Battaglin, but have a soft spot for Campagnolo.

Any advice. Thanks Steve

    I've just been looking for a training bike and i've stumbled across the battaglin at wiggle and its a hell of a bike for the price...
    A better bike than the trek i think.
    Im very tempted by it, at that price point ni cant find anything better but the Felt f95 at £50 more does also look cool. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Felt_ ... 360045904/
    The campag kit on the battlagin is better than on most other bikes at the price..
