Thanks for the reply! Years ago when i was cycling, i did not have a good experience with bikes on bikes direct. At the time I was happy, but the second i got onto the specalized there was no comparison with how much more power was transferred than the bike i got on bikes direct. Any frame recommendations in particular? Or would i be better off buying everything separately?
