Hi, as a noob to your forum I would like to ask for advice and also hope to find someone to buy a road bike off...
I have a Giant Defy 3.5 touring bike (I'm sure cycling aficionado's would grimace, but it has been a good introduction to road riding).
And now I'm looking to getting into road riding more seriously in Sydney where it is very hilly and would like to buy a bike before I head there.
The advice I have been given is get a nice stiff carbon frame kitted with Shimano Ultegra/105.
I'm 6ft5 and whilst I have chalked up decent miles on my trusty Giant (rode around france with my wife) I am not au fait with terminology or the different brands etc. Any advice on brands to go for/avoid? Pricing point or...
Does anyone have a carbon road bike for a lanky fella !!!???
Thanks for your advice and thoughts in advance, tt
