I have a RT58 with the 105 groupset and it is a nice bike, doesn't break the bank either with price. I was lucky as I knew from my last bike what size was needed. Remember to add £40-£50 for pedals

No i havent ridden a road bike before. Just seeing it as an investment long term so thought something a bit dearer would be better in the long run.

The merlin assistants have recommended me a size large based on my height ( 5,10.5) n leg (31).

Only thing putting me off is i have no idea how to set a bike up haha.

Im in Birmingham by the way.

All you will need to do is straighten the handle bars and attach the pedals, which you will probably have to buy separately although cheapo plastic ones may be included. Loads of youtube vids on bike setup.

You could always get a local shop in Brum to help set up, good to start to build a relationship if clueless

Merlin have a good rep. A mate of mine used to work for them and has recommended them to me as being a good retailer.
