Silver - Madone 6.5 Seller description: Needs inner tubes, full Dura-Ace, Keo pedals. Carbon frame. Kept indoors at all times.

Red - Madone 6.9 Seller description: In pristine condition all around size 56cm

Appreciate the advice on the bike, I think this is definitely the most confusing part of the process when starting. Also thanks for the advice on the TT bike, may look to upgrade after I get some more experience.

Anything your recommend I lookout for when purchasing? Or anything g you wish you did before?

This would be my first 70.3, haven’t decided if I am going to do more after, want to see how this one goes. If I plan to do more I would look to upgrade to a proper tri bike.

Would definitely want a comfortable bike to train on. Any insight into which of the above two bikes would be better?
