Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Opportunity to buy a time trial bike

Just came across a decent deal on a QR CD0.1 Shift Series. While only a 49cm size, it's almost pristine. Price tag on it is $500. I'm 5'8, and figured I could move the seat back some and make myself fit it I guess lol.

How common is it to put a pair of road bars on something like this to use as a road bike, also?

Gimme some pointers!

Also, I found the specs on the frame, such as reach and all that.

Don't buy a bike more than one size away from yours.

Yeah I know you're right.

My current rig - my starter bike - as it turns out is an extra large frame (23.5" from crank center to seat tube outlet). It's got me worn out. I have the seat jammed all the way forward, and find I still slide forward a lot on the saddle while riding. So that's where I'm at right now.
