Weight?
Brand?
Warranty?
Looks?
Price?

None of em! Doesnt matter if your bike is a bargain or super light..what is important is if it fits YOU proper.

The most experienced guy currently working in Adelaide is Steve Nash at Corsa Cycles or if your in Sydney, Steve Hogg is who I see.

I shudder when I see crew riding great deals with flash wheels but they are losing wattage cos they are so uncomfortable via being set up wrong. People weigh stems and tubes when the real performance is bike fit.

Setting people up on the bike is an art and I leave art to the artists!

So true Harley.......agree with the comments Frame geometry is also important and the purpose for what you want to use the bike for......a well fitting 9kg bike will be more enjoyable to ride than a poorly fitted sub 7kg ride (much cheaper too)
