How To Choose The Right Bicycle For You?

When you're buying a road bike, the range of bike
types, materials and component options can be
bewildering. Let us steer you through your
choices and help you find the right road bike for
you.

• With a budget in mind, you want to do some
  research. Sure, you can just walk into your
  nearest bike shop, slap down some cash on the
  counter and leave with a road bike, and there's
  nothing wrong with that.
• But a bicycle is an investment and, as with most
  expensive investments, it's worth spending some
  time researching the options.
• Our forum is a great place to ask
  questions about road bikes, and our review
  database gives you valuable advice for sorting
  the wheat from the chaff.
• They're both very good places to start. Below we
  outline some of the important considerations to
  think about.

Frame Materials
The frame is the heart of your new road bike and
it's where the majority of the budget goes.
Frames are made from a range of materials, the
most common being steel, aluminium, titanium and
carbon fibre.
5
Aluminum 
Aluminum is the most common frame material for
road bikes.It's inexpensive, and a very good
material to make bikes from because it builds
into stiff, light frames. The latest aluminium
frames boast some advanced features and design
touches.
6
Steel
Steel was the dominant road bike frame material
and is still a lovely material in the hands of a
good designer. It's most often found on custom
bikes and those designed for touring because in
those applications its weight penalty is less
important. It's heavier than aluminum but can be
wonderfully comfortable.
7
Titanium
Titanium was once the most exotic material of
them all. A titanium frame can be as light as
aluminum and as durable as steel, making it a
wonderful material for bicycles. Its
corrosion-resistance is the icing on the cake.
8
Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber is now the most coveted road bike
frame material. Carbon fiber can be relatively
easily manipulated by designers to create frames
with the particular balance of properties they
want, whether that's low weight, comfort,
stiffness.
9
Choosing the right size
Choosing the right size bike is absolutely
critical when buying your first road bike. Take
advice from the bike shop but don't go for a bike
that is too small or too large just because it's
a bargain. Only with the correct size bike for
your height and dimensions will you really get
the most out of your new hobby.

Components

The wheels make the bike
Lighter wheels with less rotating mass are
slightly quicker to spin up, but real speed comes
from  deep-section aerodynamic rims. Lighter and
faster tyres feel more responsive.
