Default Re: Pick me a new pushbike

Matt mate, from those three there, I had a bit of a look over.
My recommendation from above stands. TCR Alliance, with the 105 gruppo.

Em. But... like, you have these piccies with straight bars.
Which scares me a little.

So, just the theory here, your hands should be on the bars directly below your shoulders. Ie, your arms should not be angling in or out, just down. Thats how you know you are in the right position.
I bet that those flats are wider than your shoulders.

Have a look at any Pro rider. They measure their shoulder width, and buy bars that width.
This means... that you have THREE options about where to put your hands.
Three. Its amazing.
Wrists straight, and on the hoods. My fav.
Wrists straight, on the drops.
Hands twisted 90 degrees, and on the flats of your drops.

Three riding positions, means if you get tired of sitting one way, you change. This is so much nicer.
But, that's just me i suppose.
