Wiggle are offerign 20% off all bikes currently andoften have TT kit in their returns/shop soiled section.

they're also being dropped by Focus so expect some of those bikes to be sold off cheap soon.

if you or your mate are able to build a bike get a chinese ebay frame and a groupset;

£387 for a frame not a million miles from the planet x (not knocking the planet x my wife has the stealth tt but if you're after cheap)

As pointed out by SBZ, PlanetX are v popular in Tri circles and do some very well priced kit.

Evans will no doubt be doing their 'end of season sale' soon but in the meantime this alu [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/trek/speed-concept-25-2011-triathlon-bike-ec023952 ]Trek[/url] is quite a bit under the budget.

The only other thing I would add about the planet x is the specc'ed wheels are a bit "not best combination type thing". The 82 mm front can be a handful in windy conditions and if you're serious about tt'ing you would be better off with a disc on the rear (or aerojacket covers o

n the planet x). I bought a set of the 82/101 wheels when I started tt'ing again and they now sit rarely used, I now have a 50mm front tub which I use nearly all the time and a second hand disc on the rear.

Yeah, defo agree re the 82mm front. An Easton 56mm is quite enough for me on the front.
