you'd probably get a decent enough ten or fifteen year old aluminium framed bike; what will help drive the price down is the groupset, which won't have gearing as low as is popular these days - but that won't be much of an issue for you if you're doing a TT, you won't need gears to climb steep hills.I'm mildly considering getting a road bike again. I've a notion i'd like to attempt a local TT for the craic sometime next summer. It'll be 100% between 2 and 300eu off adverts type operation. I am currently not even in the outer orbit of that speed right now, but that's kinda the point.
I'd a wee scope around adverts and there's plenty of nice enough bikes in that range. A local TT here wouldn't have time to get to an actual hill. Not going to spend money till after the new year anywhooooyou'd probably get a decent enough ten or fifteen year old aluminium framed bike; what will help drive the price down is the groupset, which won't have gearing as low as is popular these days - but that won't be much of an issue for you if you're doing a TT, you won't need gears to climb steep hills.
a few years ago - actually, in march 2020, i sold a bike to a virologist of all people, which would have been fine, for €250.
I probably did close to 100km off road on my Dawes in portugal. It was dry though. It wasn't exactly competition speeds but it was a lot of fun. Gravel runs seem to be all the rage now if that's a training option.Going to Canada next April for a 100km mountain trail race
Have done approximately zero of this, so need to put in major practice

But there's a lot of uphill and who doesn't like new bikes?
thats the fanciest cycling magazine there is. Something like 14 pounds sterling per editionI just arrived at this thing:
Rouleur Live - The world's finest bike exhibition
Where else can you enjoy a drink with cycling’s biggest stars, surrounded by the world’s best bicycles and memorabilia from the history of the sport? The Rouleur Live is the magazine brought to life.www.rouleur.cc
A rather rarified bike show. There's some stunningly fancy stuff here. Doors open at 17:00.
I'd never splash out and buy a ticket, but now I'm getting paid to be here.
That makes me feel better about my one magazine indulgence (White Dwarf at 9.90 a pop).thats the fanciest cycling magazine there is. Something like 14 pounds sterling per edition
here? were you on the hatched section just the other side of the moped?
