I know the topic's been fairly well covered on here but i can't seem to find a specific answer to my question..
I'm 6'1" and ride a 56cm bike. I know it's probably too small for me and causing the torturous pain in my knees when i ride over 40 miles on go or run over 5k.
I need to do something about it as i work for sustrans so cycling is pretty much essential for work.
Should i:
a) get clip in pedals / SPD's and pay for professional bike fit (might just end up paying for someone to tell me my bike is too small).
b) buy new bike and get professional fitting at the same time (can't really afford this option).
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
