mvrk777 Posted March 21, 2015 Share I'm currently a mtb rider and have decided to give the road races/rides a go as every one else that I cycle with seems to have done I've decided to go the second hand route to ease myself into it and have come across 2 bikes that are available in my area, the very popular RC6000 and a relatively unknown (to me that is) Principia Evolution, both for the same price and both with 105 groupset. Can anyone help with a little bit of advice as to which bike would be the better valued bike and best suited to a newbie like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvin' Marvin Posted March 21, 2015 Share I'd say go for the Raleigh, bullet proof. Just remember Raleigh sizes it's bikes differently. if the frame says 54cm(BB- seat post), its actually a 56cm (seat post to steerer tube). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvrk777 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Thanks, that would explain why the raleigh(51 cm) felt exactly the same as the Principia(54 cm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
