Hi there
As you know, I'm thinking of buying another road bike. I already have a Giant Defy 2 road bike with an aluminium frame and carbon forks but I'm planning to use this for my not so nice days weather wise cycling and have a full carbon road bike for nice sunny days (of which there are not a lot in the West of Scotland!). Anyway, I was going to go for a Bianchi road bike but I've decided that, although I won't rule out Bianchi, I feel that its more about how they look rather than the components, so I'm open minded about manufacturer - in fact BMC bikes look really good with good components - this one for example:
https://www.evanscycles.com/bmc-teammachine-slr03-105-2017-road-bike-EV273214
Anyway, what I wanted to ask was: I've been looking at various size charts and they all differ (what I mean is - for example a small Giant bike dimensions are different from a small BMC bike dimensions and again are different from a small TREK bike dimensions) - does this mean that a person can really buy any bike as long as the correct adjustments to the various "unfitting" bits are tweaked (front post, rear post, etc) or are folks restricted due to their body type/shape?
Thanks again for your help and advice.
