Advice for sizing and is it a light bike? - Page 2

the new one. it sounds as if you are attempting to receive roses when you are only paying for daisies. nothing wrong with daisies as they have their place too but try cross breeding the two and you come out frankenflower.

okay, so not daisies but rather weeds. jk. aluminum has come a long way, sure, but don't expect for that frame to be the lightest, it won't be comparably speaking to any of these bikes CICLI PINARELLO S.p.A. or any of the same caliber but i'm not sure why you're worried so much about weight, it's gonna be light regardless compared to your old bike. now as far as components, you're not gonna wanna put anything top end on that frame. again, don't worry about it as that bike is perfect for you at this time. as you go along and ride you'll pick up the differences. you can't have it all until you know and understand and comprehend why you want it in the first place and that does not start out with weight, not to me anyways.

Would there to be any guess on how many KG the bike would way :\?

10 kg +/-.

omg! my current bike is around 7kg..

10kg im having 2nd thoughts now....

Do you know of any bikes that is a light frame? thats around £600? That i can get from the CycleScheme?

Or from the Evanscycle site?

Is it possible that you could link me up to a few sites that have Light trek bikes that are around £500-£600?

the last bit of advice if you can call it that is ride and ride out front. always.

good luck with your bike.

You have gotten some good advise on here but you seem to be hung up on this weight issue thing!!

The bike i posted the Claud butler does have Carbon Fibre forks, so in overall it could be light?

Ive just measured my instream of my legs its 32 Cm

Will that 59CM bike be a good size for me?

As im 6.1" / 6.2" ?
