What is budget, and what are requirements for a bike? (Frame material, components, etc.)
I just recall reading somewhere (could be mistaken) that the Rob Roy 54 was like a 52.
Just worried about buying a frame or bike online and the fit will be wrong.

As for budget?
I'm guessing no more than $600.00 for a frame set or
$1500.00 on a bike,

Frame set would be best because I can buy QUALITY parts a little at a time(I'm in no hurry)
rather than spending $1500.00 in one lump sum.

Requirements?

Pure training/race bike.
I have an old road and old mountain bike for commuting.
I might ride it to work or trails now an again but it will be mainly my race bike (I hope)

Light AND Tuff......Just the basics to get me to da the finish line.
