Hi,
I have narrowed my search for a first racing bike down to the Merlin PR7 and B'twin Triban 500 SE and wondered if anyone had experience of both/either.
According to online guides, I should go for a 52cm bike, but the B'twin comes in either 51 or 54 and the Merlin in 50 or 53. I have sat on a B'twin but live some way from the Merlin shop, so would have to go for mail order....
Any suggestions gratefully received.
