I have asked about a lot of bikes and trying to learn. I’m 5”4 & and a beginner. Hoping to ride with friends and ultimately do a half Ironman.
I’m supposed to test ride the Specialized on Monday hence the pending. The road we’d be training on our generally flat with mild grades, and the occasional climb. If I stick with riding I’ll likely upgrade/ be willing to buy new in th coming years.
Someone pointed out the specialized has a padded seat that isn’t normally found in cycling. Both bikes should be short enough depending on tire size.
