Hi,

Two bikes - The use is training and IM distance race 112 miles just under 6000ft in climb. (IM france)
IM france route http://eu.ironman.com/~/media/02e5a7197b72402598cfdf25cdf89448/imfr2015%20map%20bike.jpg

I want to use the bike in all different types of races and also use it for training. I love long distance and climbs - where I live there are hills over the place with really nice climbs.

(plan on upgrading the wheels in future)

Thanks! Really look forward to a reply :D

    IMFR hasn't got massively steep climbs - I reckon either bike would do.
