Hi there,
First Post. Overweight 30 years old seeks to get back on the road after 8 year gap. I think I've settled on a bike. A Fausto Coppi San Remo for €1,000 (in Ireland) which is VERY good value from what I've seen on-line online in UK. Mix of Shimano 105 and other bits. What are the frames and the ride like as I only had a few moments with it. I'm 6'2" and about 15.5 stone (100 kg). USed to ride a 24.25" but all the sizes seem samller now. The San Remo I'm looking at is 58 cm seems fine, but it was all Reynolds Steel when I was on abike last so I need some last minut advice. My other option is a TREK 1200 but Spec doesn't seem nearly as good. HELP?
