    Hi,

    I'm planning on doing a lot of cycling in the coming months and years and have signed up to do the Tour De Picnic in September (http://www.tourdepicnic.ie).

    Thing is, I need to get a good bike. Would like to purchase new or second hand. I am 192cm tall so will need a large bike and I weigh 95kg.

    Anyone of similar ilk to recommend a bike?

    Thanks folks,

    You're tall but not freaky-tall, and only heavy enough to exclude the most weight-weenie wheels.

    Something like a 60cm bike (traditional sizing) with decent wheels would probably do you.

    You need to indicate a budget to get recommendations.

    edit: I found a picture of a 66cm Canyon. Check out the head tube! :pac:
