willtri4 on December 26, 2025 4:42 pm Price is probably a bit high but not crazy. 54 is probably too big for you though
LooksBetterWithDrops on December 26, 2025 4:52 pm I’m 5’8″ and the absolute biggest “race bike” I can ride is a 53cm. And this looks more like a 56 or even 58 to my eyes. As far as price, there are no* rim brake, cable shift race bikes on stock wheels worth over $1k. *excluding certain vintage bikes, collectible limited edition/rare bikes or bikes with a race pedigree from a pro racer.
