I was thinking about getting an inexpensive SS road bike as my first road bike. I decided on the Specialized Langster because of the all the good reviews I read and the price. The problem is that none of my LBSs have it in stock. I can find them online but I do not know what size to get. I am 5'7" and my MTB is 15".

So I was wondering - if anyone has this bike - how tall they were and what size they ride?

Thanks..

You could do worse than starting here:

I believe the frame is almost exactly the same as the Allez Sport. I have a 54 CM Allez, and my matching 54 CM Langster fits very well. And Allez Sports should be pretty common at the LBS. It is at least a place to start.
