As the title says, does anybody in northants have or know of anybody with one for sale.

Im getting into triathlons this year, and a dual suspension bike is no good, not one bit!

I've been looking online recently, and cant find one for much less than £600...

Have an old skool Basso Columbus tubed lo-pro TT bike with a 26 radial spoked front and 700 rear HED carbon disc that might suit depending on your size (tubs both ends)? Nice single ring Campag chainset and a six speed block up rear, titanium BB and tri bars etc. I'm a good 6'2" but with shortish legs if that gives any idea of fit (it's in the loft else I'd measure the frame)... pretty serious weapon but I doubt I'll need it again wink

Oh, tested at short 22mins for 10 miles wink

Try these people at Silverstone

Too expensive for me, but the Marin, Quest, Scott & Merida are all good prices.

Good luck.

Tell me about it!

I've been forwarded a link to a bike place at pitsford, is it worth a drive over for a look or are they mountain bikes/offroad/over £1k.

I will PM you.

looks like a fantastic bike - but not really much different from my pinnacle which would be half that price!!
