See that's the key thing, how you look and feel, not what you weigh. I lost 1.2 st with the new diet, but have put most of it back on with all the training, but have definitely got smaller, so that combined with feeling much better energy wise is the key for me - I know the weight is muscle gain, and I'm positive yours will be too! |

I'd rather go with a road bike so I can use it pre / post triathlon (I doubt I'll be making a habit of that!) Am 5ft 5, budget is bugger all

Yesterday was the first time that when I ran I didn't feel like I was struggling, the run before I actually had to stop at one point: http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/676368521 It's going to be a long, drawn out thing to get back to where I was but at least it's getting better. |

Are you likely to ever be riding wearing a skirt? If not, then ladies or gents is immaterial. Size of frame is what matters. I'm not an expert by any means, but I would expect a "mens" bike to be better than the equivalent "ladies" as they are generally designed that way first, aren't they? |

| Post subject: | Re: Middle Age Spread |
You probably want a frame size of 20" or 22". Something like this would be good, but it's in Stockport: http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/ ... ke-20.html |

The geometry is different on women's bikes due to longer legs and shorter upper body or something. Just find one that is comfortable for you for the time being |

Ladies road/hybrid bikes normally have a narrower handle bar, as shoulders are narrower. Just more comfortable. Only difference really. Make sure wheels are 26" or you will have more work to do. |

Okay, so a ladies bike is probably a good idea as I'm long legged / short bodied (5ft 5 height) and have narrow shoulders!! So what size frame does that put me at needing?... and how come the 26" wheels Kov? Thanks for the advice guys!! |

Saddle can be raised, I would look at a small or medium frame. 26" each wheels are standard, smaller wheels means toy will have to pedal more

700c wheels are standard road bike. 26 are mtb standard. |

Rough idea. I would get a smaller frame and raise the saddle when comfortable. |
