I've chosen this for you, ignoring the fact that you said you didn't want cyclocross, but then this isn't one really, but it did get good reviews and is a thoroughly modern take on a road bike. And it's a good discount. And it should be strong and support your solidity.

Not sure to be honest. I just feel like I'll have to work even harder to keep up?

If that was the right size, it would be spot on.

Not in reality, they just use the downtube rather than top tube for the 'sizing'!

Even more difficult to compare then.

Winstanleys have large and medium, check the geometry on the Genesis site

No you just need a geometry table or a tape measure

... which means that the stated size of 54 equates to a bigger bike than most other brands' 54s. That's what I meant, I think.
