Bike for girlfriend £300

Mark909

My girlfriends entered a sprint triathlon and is looking for a new bike around £300.

Any ideas? Is the Triban 3 a suitable geometry for a women?

Red Triban 3 if you can still get one the right size or up the budget slightly for the new T5A

Most women specific bikes have the same geometry as mens bikes anyway, the only difference being the increased saddle width and sometimes the availability in smaller frames.

So measure her sit bones and check saddle width when you go to try it out.

Have a look in my Sig, Mrs Squill uses a mens felt F4, fitter her much better than the women specific bikes.

Also she didnt want a bie in A) Pink/Aqua, or With flowers on it.

If you are offering to swap a bike for your girlfriend and £300 can I ask what spec she is?

Has she got a decent groupset?

Cue jokes about play in the bottom bracket.

Nothing so far about looking for a stiff ride.

This could go on for a long time.

Not if she's a sprinter

Can I have a test ride of her before I decide if we have a deal?
