What Road bike to buy Men or Womens?
Hi,
I need some input on what would be the right road bike for me. I am 5'8 1/2 tall I have been measured for a men's and women's bike at 54". My concern is that I do have scoliosis ( Curvature of the spine) which most of my pain is in between my shoulder blades. I love the way the (mens)specialized Alliez series bike looks and have tried to be fitted for the bike. But it seems we could not work out the issues of extended elbows. I have also tried a Giant OCR W but it seems that my reach is to close.
Any Suggestion?
Thank You,
Cheryl:)
are you built like a man or a woman
Hi there,
if you have short legs and a long torso, you are built more like a man, that's my situation. I'm 5 7 and both my steel and my ti are 52 with some tweaks to the stem length and handlebar width.
