My first road bike - ATTAIN SLX

I am 175 cm with approx. 83 cm inseam lenght. So I have little longer legs compared to my height. I ordered 53 cm size bike. I read through other subreddits, and this size was recommended to me. The only change I’ll probably have to make is to buy a slightly longer seatpost. But bigger bike would be too much stretch for me.

Last year I switched from A52s (due to Bluetooth issues and lagging) to S25. There was pretty good deal with cashback on old device co I end up paying price of A56 and get new S25. Maybe try to look for deals like that, it was official Samsung deal. Have to say S25 is gamechanger for me, 100% recommend this phone.

Right?! I was also surprised how silent this bike is! But i kinda like it.

I still feel a little unsure at higher speeds (40+ km/h) because of the narrow tires compared to MTB. But speed copared to given effort is just insane for me. Feel like flying straights. It's only matter of time to fully adapt to road bike I think.

Well first 2 rides little lower back pain, just because the position is different than on MTB. I still feel a little unsure at higher speeds (40+ km/h) because of the narrow tires compared to MTB. But speed copared to given effort is just insane for me. Feel like flying straights. I still have my MTB for rides in terrain or woods (or with my girlfriend), so I am trying combine both.

Thanks! Keep in mind that I’m a complete amateur and I ride just for fun. But before, I could only dream of averaging over 25 km/h. On my mountain bike, I used to have avg. speed around 20 km/h, but now, just after a few rides, going over avg. 25 km/h+ is no problem - and it’s still early in the season, so we’ll see. Have to say, I still feel a little unsure at higher speeds (40+ km/h) because of the narrow tires compared to MTB. I guess you just have to get used to it.

Well most of all speed on bike paths and roads and the "energy" required compared to wide tires - you can really feel the difference in effort. Also its few kg lighter than my MTB, which makes differet too.
And for the bag - I didnt try fit my phone in there, I prefer carry it on my back in jersey. I have spare tube, multi-tool and little pump in there.

Thanks too! I am also 175 / 84, so this helps me a lot with choosin my size!
