As per my other thread, I've been looking into bikes and I've reduced my budget to £1200. I actually think that's still plenty for someone who hasn't ridden a bike since I got my licence (14years ago now. Probably longer though) and I've been told by a few shops that although carbon is probably a bit more comfortable to ride, it isn't the be all and end all.

I've come across the Felt Z6 roadie and at under £1100, it looks a well specced bike for the money (I think), and if I e read it right, it's a full carbon frame. Has anyone any knowledge on this bike?

Also, I sat on a 52cm Specialized and it felt a good fit, and not knowing sod all, I took the salesmans word for it when he said that was my size. I'm only 5,8" too. Now, if the specialized I sat on fits well, would it be fair to say most 52's will be there or there abouts right? The Felt I saw doesnt list a 52 but a 51cm frame. Am I right in thinking that's the equivalent of a 52 and I'd be fine to order online if I don't find a stockist?

Also, am I missing any bikes up to this new budget ceiling?

Loads of questions but there's so many different options, I just make a decision!
