for a Specialized Secteur.
Gone for a triple this time with a 58cm frame (I'm told I need a 54/56 but I just like a larger frame - dunno why). Can't wait to get my carcass on the machine for a first ride out.

Just the entry level model. A step up from what I was riding and will more than suffice as a 'all-rounder'.0 -
This will be the longest two weeks of your life...
When I ordered my first ever 'decent' frame I lost sleep, when it finally arrived I slept like a baby - too knackered to ride the bloody thing.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
i got the 58in Roubaix. Am 6foot but long arms and short legs - probably its a bit of a reach on the hoods..needed some saddle and bar adjustments
if you feel its too large you can swap if the frame is undamaged presumably..have a good test in dry conditions
let us know how u get on0 -
Pick up my Secteur Sport tomorrow0
