Bike Triathlon
Buying a Used Triathlon Bike?
As the old saying goes, Life is full of good intentions, and this is no truer than for getting fit. Every day, people are making life changing decisions, whether it be starting a new business, getting fit, start training for a marathon or a triathlon. What you need to look for is the latter, people who have decided that they are going to get fit and down the road, complete a triathlon.
Deciding to compete in a Triathlon is the easy part. They buy all the equipment, maybe buy or subscribe to a training plan, gather information on the different types of Triathlon events, where they are staged and join a Triathlon Club. Before they begin their training, they buy a triathlon bike. They have done all the research, decided on the bike most suitable for them and closest to their budget. And they go out and purchase their triathlon bike. After all this has been completed, they begin their training.
As I've already said, life is full of good intentions and this is the point where most people fail. The training takes up too much time, the weather is bad, their working late, whatever the reason, they are lacking the commitment necessary to train for the triathlon. After a couple of weeks, there is any amount of excuses available to them and they will be used. Pretty soon, their beautiful, new, expensive triathlon bycycle is locked up in the garage, gathering dust, never to see the light of day again. Never, until, they walk in to the garage one day, look at the expensive piece of equipment that they have spent their hard earned money on and say to themselves "What was I thinking?" And with a mixture of guilt and shame, they decide that it's time to recoup some of their losses and put their bike up for sale.
This is where you come in and take advantage of the good intentions they once had. These bikes have rarely done more than a couple of hundred miles and are always available at a knock down price. They haven't been abused, they haven't even been used in a lot of cases. And your available to take them off their hands. Your willing to put these bikes through their paces, to use them for what they have been designed for. Because you've got the good intentions, you're doing the training but you've got one more thing that the bike's previous owner hasn't got, you stand over and above them, you've got in abundance what their previous owners were severely lacking in, what is that? It is, of course, COMMITTMENT!
