[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 4049782, member: 1951"] Sizing is all about inner leg measurement. I am 5'7" and ride an XS, hence the need for intimate measuring. The sit bone is even more so but can be done on a special piece of paper. Even Halfords actually sell a good range of bikes , in their Chris Boardman range. However as with so many of these shops it will be down to luck if they have anyone who knows anything when you go in. If you find your measurements, their are good guides on the Ribble site, it is well worth considering buying a second hand good make off Ebay. I did this purchasing an Alloy specialised road bike, which I sold for similar money a few months later. Trek, Canyon, Giant, Boardman, Specialised, Ribble are all good, others may add a few more to list. However if you buy second hand , do make sure there are no cracks anywhere in the frame or forks before riding off. It will probably do with a good service too. Chain, rear Cassette brake blocks, this can easily come too £100 at a good bike shop. Then as Robt says it is a matter of getting the bike set to your profile. One thing is that lock in pedals are well worth using, but take a bit of getting used to. I like SPDs as they are very easy to unlock and you can still walk in the shoes. [/QUOTE]
