Giant

Finished this, rode it up Sa Calobra, all good. It has awful wheels - even worse than the ones in this picture - but I can't really justify new ones given how rarely I have the opportunity to ride it. I really have very little interest in proper road bikes it seems, at least in the UK...

Having said that, I have mentally committed to doing a triathlon next year - ultimate goal being an Iron Man in a few years - so I would like to come up with a solution for a convertible TT setup for this. In theory I would use something like the Ritchey Breakaway cable connector things, so I would just detach cables, swap over the base bar/drop bars (maybe stem as well depending on position), reattach cables. Indexing etc. should be the same between the two in theory. Unfortunately the Breakaway cable connectors cost £10 each (AFAIK) so that's £40 for the four cables, and what's more I would need a set for each bar, so that's not an option given my severe lack of income. However, I do have clip-on aero bars and TT500 shifters and brake levers in the spares box waiting.
