Thanks everyone (esp. SideBurn) - brilliant!

Thanks F.oggy!

Hi Everyone,

I'm floating about looking for a time trial bike to start using in longer distance tri's, rather than trying to adapt my road buddy into a TT.

Does anyone know of any good places to look for one second hand? Obviously flea-Bay is a good start (not much there really I think), but any others?

Thanks,

AD

Hi Forumites,

Welcome to the latest addition of 'AD's Newbie Questions'.  I was wondering if anyone could recommend Swim Smooth or Total Immersion - as in the books, and which one is better than the other?

Thanks everyone!

I do quite fancy one of those things where you race on the TV against others on your turbo. I know they are pointless and a lot of money but I would be interested to know which ones are good/bad/recommended, all the same! You never know. I do find visual  stimulation on the turbo is the best distraction and I reckon it might be fun? EG is there a wireless thing that links to your Garmin via a laptop or whatever?

I've seen a couple of those as well; but they fit firmly into the 'fancy pants' category of turbos I think.  I can only imagine what KK would think of them.

Now I'm just going through that impatient stage of saving up a bit of cashola for the buy.  I figure that while I'm still boshing out 3/4 hour rides, staying on the road is not too much of a problem, since waking up at 6am means I still get quality time with Mrs AD and A-herself.  Once I start getting above those length rides though, and want to pair them up with brick runs, its much harder to tell the Mrs that I wont be in until 2pm.  So - big tick for turbos + Star Wars for me.
