I'm 36yo man who has been cycling for 12 years. I've accomplished a lot in triathlon (2x IM, Wisc '05, Kona '06) and while I don't race my bicycle, I do appreciate performance.
I am interested in getting advice for what frame would fit me, I'm 6'0" tall with a 33" inseam - that gives me longer legs an a shorter torso than most people my height. It means that I'm often stretching my lower back or using a short stem with some rise to make my bike fit me.
Is there a brand that anyone would suggest? I find test rides to be difficult to assess when I don't have any I've talked to different people at my local bike shops and they all have different opinions... I guess that now I'd like differing opinions from people on the internet.../img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif
