Menno, I am pretty sure I know what you mean. The guy fitting me explained angles of my arms and legs in relation to my torso with the seat set to the right height, with the small frame my body was too long and I’d have been too far over the handle bars which he said would ruin weight distribution and make the bike nervous.
I thought the 540 model, alloy frame, carbon forks, 105 gears, Mavic wheels, struck a nice balance of spec within my budget. I could have a 560 with full carbon frame but all the components were lower spec.
However I’ll get to Evans, Halfords and Cycles UK at the weekend to get more fittings and advice.
Once I am sure what I want I may well look out for an eBay bargain, but my work Cycle to Work scheme starts at Easter so I may well buy via this instead.
Thanks all, keep those gems of advice coming.
