Hello all. I'm looking at getting my first "real" bike so I can get out there and start exercising and enjoying the road. I've been looking at different review videos on YouTube and various sites, and one I keep coming back to is the Triban RC500. It seems like it's well-liked and a good deal. My only frame of reference up to this point is off-the-shelf bikes from stores like Walmart or Academy, so any bike would pretty much be an upgrade to me.
Has anyone tried this one out, and if so, how do you like it? Also, I had a question about sizing. I'm weirdly proportioned: I'm 5'8", but my inseam is only 28.5" (tiny, I know). So according to Triban's sizing chart, I could be either a small or a medium, but I'm not sure which would be better.
Any help and experience would be greatly appreciated!
