Getting my first bike
Hi there. I'm looking to get my first bicycle (road bike) but am unsure about the sizing. I am 176 cm (roughly 5'9'') with relatively long legs at a 85 cm inseam (roughly 34').
Also I've been looking at a bike from avalanche but they don't give frame size measurements, and their size guide only works off of height (long legs make this inaccurate). I would prefer a more 'competitive' stance. Can I recommendations on which frame sizes I should consider.
