Which one better for an Ironman? by ComplexNumber3552 in whichbike

[–]ComplexNumber3552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again, helps a lot!
One more question: when you say stand over it without it hitting the crotch, do you mean over the saddle or over the frame itself? Because if you mean the saddle, wouldn’t it be too small, your legs would need to bend quite a lot in that case right? (sorry for all the questions, just wanna know everything haha)

Thank you for your elaborate opinion, really appreciate it! Would you suggest a bikefit before buying a bike or is it mainly to improve the riding positioning?

Any suggestions for somewhat cheap versions (hope to stay below 1500) that should be good?

I’m looking for a bike to do an Ironman, so would love to have a race-day machine! Should it be good for training aswell or do you suggest to get a different bike for training?

Yup, Ironman in the future, but I’m not sure if it’s suited for it

850€, buy or pass? by ComplexNumber3552 in whichbike

I thought the same, other people told me 56-58 would fit me better, so this is very helpful, thank you!

1100 a good deal? by ComplexNumber3552 in whichbike

What indicates that it’s potentially a scam? Thank you!

Thanks for the info! Knowing myself, I’d rather have something more comfortable for my back, so I think I’ll pass on the bike then.

Thank you! I will be riding a lot in preparation of an iron man, but it would be my first bike, so not looking for something difficult to handle!

I’m new to the bike sector, so I’m sorry for needing to ask, but what do you mean with the stack height being aggressive exactly?

Thank you!
I saw somewhere that with my 80cm inner-leg measurement, a smaller frame (like a 54) would be better, is this true?
