Hello from a noob.
Morning all,
As I due to have my first Road bike delivered I thought I'd pop a post up to say hello.
I've done plenty of reading here but not posted yet.
Here is a link to my new wheels,
http://www.merlincycles.com/beone-alpe-dhuzes-road-bike-71775.html
I could find very limited reviews on it, but I felt the sex made it worth the risk and it will be better long term than a cheaper Halford bike or the carbon ventura from argos.
Any thoughts or opinions on the above would be great
I've been a mtb'er for a few years but want to try my hand at some triathlons hence my need to get a road bike.
Thanks
Andy

105 gearing with a triple is good at that price and the components look decent enough that you won't have to replace any straight away! I'm not sure I would pay full price for one, but at £599 it looks like it should be a decent buy.
Welcome to the forum
