Do u think if itt fits correctly that I can do a 100 miles on it ? Or should I just try to get used to drop bars ? I really like the BMC Grandfondo and the roubaix, what do you think ?
Don't expect that going to a carbon frame will magically improve your abilities;
you'll still have to train regrdless of bike.
