    Does this deal look good with regards to the bikes components/spec? Eurocycles are having a sale on at the moment. Also the size of this bike available is large i.e 57cm top tube length. am 6ft and was wondering if you think it should be the right size with perhaps a little adjustment

    I have a BH, their sizings are a little different in that it's Small/medium/large etc.

    To give you an idea, I'm 6'3" and I take an extra large frame size from them.

    Thanks Awec. What is the bike like performance wise. Also do you think a large size would suit me? I don't aim to race either. Have retired from that so I plan to use it for more long distance recreational rides at the weekend and sportives etc. Also considering its groupset and frame etc do you think it looks like a good deal. I don't know many other suppliers who sell these bikes in Ireland so its hard to compare prices

    It's the only bike I've owned so unfortunately nothing to compare it against performance wise.

    But I like it. I don't have that model you posted though.

    I'm sure there are others here better placed to tell you about the individual components than me.

    IMO, €1,399 is good value for a full carbon frame bike, with 105, from a reputable manufacturer such as BH.

    Fitzcycles in Stillorgan sell BH. In fact they are now the exclusive agent for BH. The bike you are looking at from Eurocycles is their end of stock hence the price. See http://www.fitzcycles.ie/products.php?product=BH-Prisma-Carbon-7.7-%252d-Shimano-105-%26-WHR501-Wheels-%252d-7.9kg-

    Thanks all for the advice. I think I will invest in this bike. The sizing for a large bike is the below
    SizesSeat tube (A)Horiz. length (B)º seat (C)Headset (D)º head tube (E)Chainstays


    LA 490 557 73º 175 73º 406

    Do you think it would be suitable for someone 6ft?
