Brad - I haven't figured out the answer yet to that one. I got a walk in "fitting" at a shop while back in the states this summer - he said 58 would be perfect. This bike is a 56; I got a great deal on it and I wanted to try this bike thing before I started really flushing my money into it. I'm hooked, but I'm wondering if the bike isn't too small. It doesn't necessarily "feel" too small after cranking the seat WAY up - but hills are killing me as the wheels seem like they're made for a 51cm bike! They look incredibly smaller than what I see on other bikes - the tires are listed at 23-571 which I can't much info on.

In all, it's not all the "new" factor, other than having a bit of a known entity other than being able to read '105' on all of the components. She gets me where I'm going, and well enough to get me hooked. My problem is that give it a year, and I'll be entering some sort of competition. I've raced everything I've ever owned at some point, I can't help it! :-)
