Fitting a Road Bike Frame to Your Needs
When you have the good fortune to be looking at new bicycles, though, you definitely want to look at a few elements besides the color of a road bike frame.Face it.When you're on your way back home from a long Sunday ride and you're riding your thirty-fifth mile smack into a stiff headwind, the fact that your frame is cobalt blue or even Bianchi green is not going to help you.The length of your carbon seatpost is going to help you and the length of your top tube and even the angle of the three main tubes all put together is going to help (or hinder) you, but color is not.
If you shop at a discount store or even a general purpose sports store, if you get any help at all in choosing a bike that fits you, it will probably consist of a clerk instructing you to stand over the top bar of the frame and see if you can comfortably straddle it with your feet on the floor.This is not really particularly helpful, especially if you happen to have anything unique about your physique, like long legs combined with a short torso.If you have long legs, you can straddle almost any bike, but will your body be able to relax comfortable in the stretch between your saddle and the handlebars?The whole geometry of the road bike carbon framem atters a lot to fit.And fit matters excessively to comfort.
If you're a racer, comfort will not be your only consideration.Indeed, it may be down among the last elements you consider.Speed is not usually built from comfort, and the road bike carbon frame that promotes speed is built of different materials than one used primarily for recreational riding.Frames can be made of carbon, chrome-moly, aluminum or steel, and each metal has different advantages of weight and strength.Frame geometry varies, too, with touring bikes featuring a longer vertical base and top tube than the skittish racing models.
So when you're looking at road bike carbon frame, think beyond the paint.Get a frame that fits both you and your purpose.Whether you doyour research online or in a good bike store, you'll be glad you took the time.
