Road Bike with Shimano 105 for £800 and under?

[vickster]

Can't see on the website, was it in store? OP is quite a big lad, so he'll need a 58-60cm frame I should think

Nope I never loved Specialized - I had them because that's what I could get from the LBS on C2W and they weren't so common then!

I think you need to leave the Interweb behind and head out to the shops, should be open now

Tall but coming in in at just under 14st.

Found my niche climbing ladders and pointing satellite dishes

Rider weight has nothing to do with frame size - at 6ft3 you are quite big

Be very carefull to get correct size dan. A lot of cycle shop staff havent a clue how to size a bike for you. Do your own research .

As a rough guide At 6 ft 3 you probably want a 60cm or 62 cm road bike but take care some makes are measured differently.It also depends on arm and leg measurements and your own personal preference.

Dont get hung up on groupset components.The frame is the heart of the bike .Wheels are next most important bit and are often really crap on new bikes.

Try a couple of different bikes, different manufacturers/frame designs can make a world of difference with the 'same size frame'
