Hello all,
I want to get back into cycling, but don't want to spend too much initially until I work out whether I could actually be any good at it! I have the MTB I had while I was at school, and although I'm short I think I have grown a bit since then! I was wondering to what extent you can raise the handlebars and saddle before it becomes unsafe/difficult to handle? Or would it just be a better idea to find a cheap second hand bike to fit?
I want to move onto a road bike eventually as I have been challenged into doing a triathlon, but at this stage I just want to work on getting back my cycling confidence, fitness and technique on my current bike before going down that road.
