I was leaning more towards the road bike. I want to get a used one, but not sure on the correct size for me, and I dont want to be a dick and go to a bike shop to get fitted to only buy used.
Any help on the size? 5'10. Things to look for or stay away from.

I'm like 5'9" and I ride a 56CM. Specialized Sequoia Comp with Mavic wheels.
Can someone recommend me a comfortable seat for long riding? Sometimes I ride more than an hour and my ass starts hurting from my "fat ass" Specialized seat I got. |

ignore all the size recommendations here and do yourself a favor - drop a tape measure from your balls to the floor. Go to the bike manufacturer's website and look for a 'standover' or 'S.O.' measurement spec that is less than the balls->floor measurement and that's your size.

I have no idea on your budget, but one company that has awesome frames with good componet sets for decent money is Orbea and you can find some sweet used Orbeas. |

^ too expensive. Anything that's good on the cheaper side?
http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...=42059&eid=348 This is what I have now. I also want some new bar tape to add some color to my bike. It's a mix of silver, carbon, black and plastic chrome right now. Last edited by rice h8r; 07-08-2009 at 12:06 AM. |

Here is my current rig, my poor mtb hasn't been ridden in months. I picked this one up at a garage sale and threw on some new/used parts. It's a blast to ride and I'd really like to buy a fixed gear wheelset because I think that would be even more fun. Unfortunately I'm not sure if my crappy knees can take it so I've actually considered picking up a geared road bike...who knows...we'll see. If I keep this one around I'm going to give drop bars a shot again. I put these on because after riding a mtb for so long going straight to drops was too much of a difference.

I've been using them for almost 20 years. Just use black tape, it doesn't get dirty from your grungy hands. |

$300 is a fair price but aparently people will pay more. List it for $500 and see what happens.

I got $400 for my '93 Cannondale R800 last month - this Lemond is newer and in immaculate shape. I'd expect it to go for far more than $300, but we'll see what happens (already have someone interested)
