Hi guys.
my names Mike and I live in the Midlands. Been riding MTB for a few years now but am yearning for the road. Just need some advice really, having not owned a roadie since my 70's Peugeot.
I don't really want to break the bank for a bike and am considering the Btwin Triban 3 as a starter bike, at £299 it is cheap and has good reviews, I have used their MTB's and they are good value for money compared to other 'name' bikes.
What I need to know is things like sizing, I'm 6'2" so what frame size (cm) should I be looking at? what is the most common number of gears on a roadie? types of shifters? groupsets? I understand MTB but know next to nothing about roadies, any advice would be really appreciated.
Mike.
