[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 4049072, member: 1951"] If anyone is considering buying a bike , find a shop who will sell you a properly fitted one. Too many bike shops, some with considerable reputation will sell you what they have in stock rather than what you need. If you have the money I would say go carbon, but the old timers all pay good money for steel . Alloy is a good compromise for weight against cost. Fitting is more important thsn all other considerations, so if it is not in stock , they will order what you need. Ribble bikes on the internet for most, are very good as they will build a bike to your order to fit you with very precise measuring instructions. You will need a partner who you are comfortable measuring you in the nether regions:) A good saddle is important and those thin racing saddles will be a lot better thsn a big squshy one. But the right one! [/QUOTE]
