Hey everyone,
So ive been on the lookout for a monster i was going to use for an all around bike but now im starting to lean towards changing my hunt to a slim/chris chance road bike. Reason being i am not able to access the trails as easily and im missing out on alot of nice days to get out and ride. Since im not a roadie ive always road mountains on the streets, slicks/no slicks etc. Its not as efficient or fun as a road bike but i never felt to be a roadie guy. I also have 2 other mountain bikes so this might be a good change.
That is until i saw a single speed vintage road bike with cyclocross tires.... it was sleek, fast, but didnt look like the normal road bike deal. The guy was ripping on it but was just like me, so it made me think - maybe go for a chris chance/slim chance road frame and build the bike to fit my personality (unshaven, hairy legs, fox shorts). I could enjoy the road and still feel good on the bike and not like a roadie type guy (nothing wrong with them just not for me).
So with that boring story said, could anyone let me know the differences between the slim and the chris chance road bikes? Also, im 5'11" and have no clue what size would fit me. If anyone could chime in on that it would also be awesome.
Im just up in the air whether to do mountain on the street or road. If anyone has experienced this confusion im having feel free to chime in haha.
Thanks in advance!
- Chris
