Anybody have any opinions on the new Motobecane bikes? www.bikesdirect.com has some good deals on them.
I am thinking of switching from a hybrid to a road bike for my not very serious rides of 10-40 miles. My only concern with a road bike is my lower back which has given me trouble from time to time in my 41.5 years.
Was thinking that a frame geometry with the top tube at an upward angle from the seat to the handlebars as opposed to straight across (thought that would be easier on my back).
I am 5'11" with a 32" inseam. Thought I would get a 56cm frame.
Any help appreciated!!
