Going back to the mid-80s and I was in my mid-30s I was participating in triathlons. Swim, bike and run in that order. Never did the Ironman distance but did many of the so-called Olympic distance tri events that consisted of a 1-mile swim, a 25-mile bike race followed by a 6.2-mile run.

Where I'm going with this is I spent close to $2000 on a Cannondale lightweight triathlon bike. I know other guys who spent quite a bit more but $2000 was more than enough for an amateur like myself.

Out of curiosity after reading this post I wondered what Cannondale is selling some of their tri bikes for. I was surprised to find one for $10,499.
