    Hey guys,

    looking to get a road bike. Got all measurements done (and been called "special") :-D
    Recommended frames were
    Lapierre Audacio 400 46cm
    Cannondale Synapse S4L 46 cm

    Any suggestion re similar geometry frames???

    I have the lapierre audacio 400 2013 although in a 58cm frame. Great bike and the tiagra 10 speed is very good. I've had no issues at all with mine.

    You mean you're short right?

    These frame have nothing "special" apart from the fact that they're in the smallest size.

    They're a similar bike as the Trek 1.2, Giant Defy (relaxed geometry), Specialized Allez. They all have a smallest size too.

    At that price point I'd be a firm believer that the best bargain in the country is the Canndondale CAAD8 7 Sora which comes in at €875 from Eurocycles.

    The new sora groups are very smooth, 9 speed and no longer have those annoying thumb shifters so they are basically just 9speed versions of Tiagra. And most of all, they look the part.

    Besides that the Bike has the exact same spec as the 105 version of the same model and has hand me down frame geo fromhe SuperSix Evo (just a taller head tube).
