I have owned mtn. bikes before, but this would be my first road bike. Is this too much bike for me? Sorry about the noob questions, but I have to start somewhere. Thanks.

Answer 1

The bike sounds fine for the price. Don't buy though it's too big for you, no question about it. with a 32" inseam your ballpark road frame size is 56-58, even a 60 is too big for sure.

Answer 2

Great bike, but alas, too big.  You would fit on an 58 or a 60 at most.  Go to a bike specific store, not a big box, and get measured.  Oh and the specs are lifted directly off Trek.com.

Answer 3

Sound way to big to me. That would fit a rider well over 6 feet . The problem I foresee the the top tube length. You would be stretched way out over the bike making it hard on the back and neck. You might want to look into a bike more in the 56cm to 58cm range. but if all else false get on it and try it out.
