thinking of a new frame

I have a q carbon klein 2003. I put all new components on it last year. I am 5'6" and 185. Yes I need to lose weight!! I average about 3500 miles a year and my average speed is 17 mph. Here was my last ride Garmin Connect

What frame do you think fits me???

beach cruiser...

sorry, but you left it wide open...However, are you looking for size or brand? I am 6', about 190 lbs, ride a 58cm Trek Domane 4.3 and probably do about the same rate/distance as you. I also need to drop about 15 lbs, but that is mostly diet correction. For coolness factor, a Willier, Colnago or Bianchi with a Campy grouppo would be a nice way to spend your money...

Consider a Gunnar Roadie with custom geometry, get exactly the fit you want and a nice ride.
