ha, lol, a 70.3 works out about £250 and a full £450, they are on closed roads with frankly insane levels of infrastructure, shuttle busses, aid stations, kit moves etc, but they are very very expensive to do, especially when you add in accommodation and kit, and training costs I cant imagine the first one could be done for less than £3k, admittedly that's with the cost of a bike as well!
now you know why I cant afford to buy a new chainset with chainrings I don't currently need...
I think that's the conclusion I've come to - £172 at Evans for the DA chainrings with a bit of cashback action, seems like a lower stress option than the best price (£170) I can find from the German retailers...
