Road Bike Question: How much is frame size REALLY going to affect my riding?
Greetings all, love the forum, haven't posted much, accept for answers I can't find otherwise. I find the forum really helpful though, lots of knowledgeable people here. I am 6'1" , meaning it would be ideal for me to ride a road bike 58-60", or somewhere in that range. I am currently looking into buying a Giant that is 56". I'm wondering just how much this is going to affect the ride as in:
Is just a few inches going to make me prone to injury?
How much is the size going to effect my top speed?
Will there be a loss of comfort?
The reason I'm looking into a bike a little small for me because it is coming at a quite cheap price, so any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
