Hi,
I am just getting into triathlons at a reasonably competitive level and I was given advice to buy a Gios Gress carbon bike on trademe as was told this was a particularly good deal (this is the bike: http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/cycling/road-bikes/medium-53-56cm/auction-526359901.htm).
It arrived yesterday have put it together and looks great, however I took it into the bike shop tonight and was told that the frame is too big for me! The listing on the auction says would suit 5"2-5"6 and I am approx 5"3 - the frame is 53cm. I was wanting some advice as to if I should be considering sending the bike back - is it too big? Or anyone who has experience with the Gios brand?
Appreciate any advice!
Cheers,
Bex
