I am a entry level kinda guy basically getting into cycling as a way of aerobic and lower body muscle training. I am looking for a bike that will last for about this initial period while I train before getting into the Hi-Fi self assembled varieties. I am about 172cms (5ft 10) and have a shorter torso... (me legs are long and skinny). Could you guys recommend a bike for me. Also Is there a way of measuring myself so that I can choose a frame size
As of now I am seriously looking at buying the following
Manufacturer: Schwinn Model: `01 Super Sport GLX Year: 2001 Size: Large Color: Blue Head angle: 73º Seat angle: 73º Top tube length: 21.85"
Krackman - No, the Large frame is to big for you. The best way to find the correct frame size is to go and measure you at the local cycle shop. But my guess is : you'll fit on a 52 cm or a "small" frame size (giant frame). I'll try and find that site to help you setup the bike.

Thanks Pothole for the heads up. I will get to the bike shop and get measured. The website for bike setup was very useful.
BTW which bikes are better "Treks, Giants or Schwinns" for more rough roads. There are quite a few potholes in the area I live and roads have cracks in them. Also Are there lower end versions of the Trek OCLVs.
Is it cheaper to assemble bikes or buy them off the shelf at a shop?
