New Member Looking for Bike and Gear

Hey guys! My name is Max Shapiro and I am a First-Year student who joined the MCT over the new year.

Since I do not come from a cycling background, I am in need of both a road bike and cycling gear. I am 5’11" (182 cm) and often run as a size medium. I assume I will be around a 58 for bike size.

If anyone has offers on either new or used road bikes or cycling gear, please let me know!

Thanks,
Max Shapiro

Vote of confidence for Max!! He’s been awesome at training sessions and will be flying when he gets on a bike.

have you joined the facebook group Independent CC Bazaar?

I second what Andy says, it’s a great group for finding higher-end used bikes and bike parts. Same for Vente-achat vélos de route/triathlon. Pinkbike and Kijiji are surprisingly good too.

Also, since it appears that I am about your height, I’d say that a 58 would be much too big for you. I’m 6 feet tall and ride a 56, and would probably be fine on a 54. Though I have freakishly high leg to torso length ratio.

I was not able to find the Bazaar page on FB. Would you be able to send me a link for the page?

Sent you a pm!
