edited December 2013 in Road buying advice
say hello! new on forum. in cycling, :shock: seriously for a year. about 800km made​​. Lost 7kg down from 105. currently ride a Cube SL Cross Pro. I love cycling and movement in nature. I think we need an upgrade to one of the road. I wonder if it's worth taking on this framework, a wheel sporty and light, or a road bike. I'm undecided but would like to order:
Giant Defy 1
canyon http://www.canyon.com/roadbikes/bike.html?b=3193
rose http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/bike/rose-xe ... aid:714976

your advice is? I'm interested in comfort, maneuverability and ease of climbing hills. waiting for your advice. Thank you!!!

    The best choice is the one that you feel suites you and feels most comfortable. No one but you can answer that. I wouls say go sit on a few bikes but your choice restricts that.

    Buy a bike that exists (i.e not just on the internet) so you can actually sit on it and even ride it (there are people who offer test rides e.g. Evans, Leisure Lakes etc).

    Anything else is a lottery.
    Yellow is the new Black.

    Very true. I would hazard a guess that he(?) isn't in the UK though so a trip to Canyon/Rose might not be out of the question. The same principle applies though. I ignored this totally when buying my bike, just as well it turned out ok although I did have a fair idea what I was after and the dimensions that would fit me.
