Is this a good deal? I am a 5'9 dude and have been riding a 52 cm Cannondale. Traps hurt after 3 hours on the bike and I just want to get done. This seems like it'd be more endurance type for me considering it's a women's fit and a little smaller. Thoughts? Below is the description
The bike has been upgraded to include Zipp's carbon aero bars and stem. Additionally, the Garmin Vector power meter pedals are included as well as the Garmin Varia bike radar (not shown and both older models). Furthermore, I have replaced the tires with Continental Gatorskins.
