Im a female, 168cm tall, average build (ie legs and body seem normal, not overly long or short on either).
I bought an alloy bike a couple years ago which was a large frame .. and it is large lol.
It was cheap at only $100 for an older pro bike. Now ive been getting more serious about my cycling and want to upgrade.
I have the bike i want chosen, however im unsure what frame size i go for.
I did try the Small frame which apparently is good for my height however because im used to the large frame it felt very strange.
The guy at the shop seemed keen to sell me a Medium frame which would probably feel a bit more comfortable to me being used to a Large, however im wondering if in the long term i should be considering the Small frame if thats the one recomended, and just get used to it.
What do you guys say? Get used to the smaller one because idealy its going to be more comfortable and better in the long term? or go for the medium ?
