Greetings folks. I want to take up cycling. I would be humbled if I could be guided on how to select a bicycle for myself. I am 5feet 10 inches tall and weigh 80kg. I live in the Netherlands and want to cycle to work and on weekends. There are plenty of cycling trails which I wish to explore. During workdays I may travel 10 km a day and during weekends probably 50km a day.
I was overwhelmed by the styles and brands, there are numerous options to choose from. How do I find a comfortable bicycle for myself? I also would like to have a relatively fast pace while cycling thus I was looking at Trek Domane, Trek Emonda, Giant Defy, Specialized Roubaix, Cannondale Synapse, Canyon Endurance. There are probably other good brands and models out there that I have missed. The issue is that these bicycles are costly and I cannot buy another one immediately, therefore I am looking to buy the best thing and unable to come to a conclusion on which one to buy. The sheer thought that I might have purchased a second-best bicycle is killing me and looping me into infinite search for the best one.
So, if anyone could guide me on how do I find a comfortable bicycle or suggest me one (from plenty of options available), I would be able to sleep properly at night
Thanks a ton in advance.
