If you're 5'11" a 52cm is too small, I'm 5'9" and I normally ride a 53-54 I would go with the Scott, I don't recognize the other brand, and believe me I know most if not all the major brands here in the US. |

Both of the bikes seem rather different in size, I think the Scott lokks nice and if you get it at a good price it would probably be a good buy. But then again Ribble has a good reputation for some good training frames - you see a few over here in Australia that people have ordered from the UK.
5 11 is rather tall - the Scott might be a bit small Check out some threads on sizing in this forum. |
