    What kind of bike did you use? Did you end up adding tri bars or anything?

    Ай бұрын

    I used the Trek Domane AL4. And no I didn’t add tri bars. Since it had a lot of hills and turns, it wasn’t really needed (and I’m also new to this and felt like I wasn’t ready to invest in tri bars just yet)
