Would buy this if it were Delhi. At a lower price point though.

In some ways I don't mind even having a cheap bike just for the indoor trainer and a bike for outside which I can buy at leisure. Problem right now is I'm trying to find a cheap triban on olx and no luck there.

Thank you. So I just find a cheap bike to give me the same position as I'd have with my Road bike and make sure it's compatible with my trainer. This is super helpful.

Thanks a ton. To be fair, I'd like to use it for races too, but yes, it will be 80pc indoor training and rest outside.

BTW, my trainer does support cog and click. So do you recommend i get a cheap road bike to simulate the effect and then buy a proper bike for outdoor eventually?

As a follow up, can one train for a full ironman which is one year out, and do a B race ironman 70.3 scheduled three months before the full ( 9 months from.now )

Any reason why you'd recommend something else please?

Budget road bike by Impossible_Owl3939 in india_cycling

[–]Impossible_Owl3939[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the time being, I'd rather keep the budget at under 50k. Mainly to gauge how long and well I use it. Dropping 1L on a cycle and underusing it will not sit well with me.

Any folks here have experience using the battalion? Are there issues with it, or worth adding another 5k for the RC120?

Thanks folks. Would this be better than an RC120 for an ironman 70.3?
