This will be fun! Looking for a new road bike.
Me: 5’8 148 -long legs, shorter torso.age: 56
History: Started riding in my early 20’s. Had a crappy Univega. Next bike was a Pinarello. Loved it but it was too large. Went to an aluminum Lemond, 54 cm. Fits great. I still have it and ride it occasionally. Current bike-Sampson Exalt, 54 cm. Like it but do not love it.
Did many triathlons in my 30’s but I no longer run due to knee issues. Now do rides from 20-100 miles regularly at 14-18 mph.
I would consider myself a fairly strong rider. Do not like to push big gears but like to settle into a comfortable groove and ride at a consistent speed.
I keep my bikes for a long time so spending a bit more for the right bike is ok with me.
What do you think?
