Getting the right size frame is more important on a road bike than a mountain bike since you spend more time sitting down in the same position.
Problem is that without trying the bikes you won't know which one fits best.
Try to work out what size you need, and then buy the one you like the best.0 -
A red one.
Red ones are faster. Fact.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Negative.
A black one is even faster and I am always right. See below.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

What, no red one?
#1 is the cheapest so least value for money.
#2 is black so Mathew would pick that, but being black no one will see it. Also the best Aluminium frame of the three.
#3 is a women's bike. That is either the decider or the breaker.
#4 is carbon and 105. My pick for that combination. I would change the stem though.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
