    G'day Oh Interwebby Collective Oracle

    As an MTBer I'm not as familiar as I'd like about road bikes. I commute on a
    flat-bar roadie but am going more toward the dark side. I recently bought a
    bike that's much too big for me so I can grab the groupset and build onto a
    suitable road frame. I'm 5'8. Would this be worth a go?

    Other sizes are available. I'm in Perth, so total cost will be around $425.

    Toodles,
