I'm interested in either a Focus Izalco Ergoride or a Giant TCR which would be the better fit ? or is there something else out there. I'm not racing or doing any type of events just for fitness and a change from off road. I've 2K max to spend but less would be better

Thanks.

according to the second diagram the toptube is 53cm

any road bike around that tt should be suitable for you if correctly adjusted

Hi,

What are the most important measurments I need to be comparing with a bikefit and bike geometry charts ?

Thanks.

I had a fitting on what looks like the same system as yours, years ago before buying my first proper road bike. I mainly used the suggested top-tube length and seat height I required (I'm tall) to narrow down the frame sizes I should be looking at.

On buying a bike, I tried to set it up to match the bikefit's suggested measurements. As a starter, the position was OK. A few years after that I went for a professional fitting (Adrian Timmis @ Cadence Sport) where my position was tweaked considerably, producing noticeable benefits and ridding me of some niggling pains I'd suffered with on and off.

The upshot: treat the measurements on the computer print-out as ballpark guidelines for helping to choose a bike to fit, but not for finessing your position on the bike.
