Entry Level Road Bikes

Shopping for a new bike frame is quite exhausting due to a lot of factors such as brand preference, model availability, material, sizing most importantly price point. There are also indirect factors involved in this, such as the following: Is the bike available in your preferred LBS? Does it come in frame only or whole bike? Does it come in my preferred colorway?

Some of the manufacturers have already implemented internal cabling on their entry level bikes, this may affect your choice especially if you prefer your bike to look really clean.

Here are the sizing tables of entry level bicycles from some of the prominent manufacturers.

Aluminum:









Composite:

Carbon:


Note: Unable to include Pinarello - cannot find specific details on website
If you already have a bike in mind but the color does not match your preference, you can have it custom painted. There are some LBS, dealers, companies and individuals that offer this services, however, be wary of the warranty - it will be voided if the paint job is not done by an authorized entity by the manufacturer to do custom painting.
