Next Step was moving from Mini Tri (200m swim, 10km bike & 2 km run) to Sprint Tri (750m swim, 20km bike & 5km run).
Getting a good bike for trialthlon meant spending a good amount of money. My first racing bike was a aluminium bike (Polygon Helios 200) which was great up to Olympic Distance Tri races. IT weighed nearly 10kg but it was a good sturdy bike that withstood the demands of racing.
The 2010 Tribob Sprint Tri was a great race to get a Personal Best with a flat bike/run course and fast swim. Felt that i was getting into the groove of things. Training for a sprint was still demanding but there were many good books and online training program that provided a good starting base. Here are some links
