What size frame/wheels should I have for a racing/road/fixed-gear bike?
I assume it is a route safe enough to ride to your school (usually I advised against it for safety reasons) A road bike is one for cycling on the public road, complete with front and rear blinkers, suitable for transportation, sight-seeing A racing bike is one dedicated for racing purposes, may not have front/rear blinkers A fixie bike is one with fixed gear for the track competition only (do not try to cycle it on public road), no front/rear blinkers/brakes Two main wheelset sizes are available: 700 or 650 (diameter in mm) Framesets are dedicated for each wheelset size (non-interchangeable) 700 x 23C road bike is recommended for your usage. However, for bike fit look for French Fit in www.competitivecyclists.
