I wish I had all the lofty cycling lingo at my disposal to do justice to this road bike and its ride on the open road. First off, this bike is stunning. I chose 'black,' it's actually black and white, and in a style that exceeded my expectations. The Italian design of this bike is apparent and impressive. It took a full week after assembly to take it for a real spin, and there wasn't day, if not an hour that I would stop, look and admire. I'm 6'0" - 225-230lbs, with a 33in inseam and went for the XLarge. The chart put me at the top end of the Large, and bottom end of XLarge. I don't like looking large on a bike that appears to small for me. And while my stats put me on the cusp, I can see how the large might have been better suited if I were training to race on this bike. The smaller size would have afforded me greater agility. But I'm not racing, I'm cruising on open stretches of road. The bigger size suits my ego and objective. But, I repeat, my stats are on the line of going either way. If your measurements are not in the gray, I would say stick with the charts recommendations. A significant step up/below out of range could prove hazardous. I did a couple hours of research that paid off. This bike is better than entry level. You'll see.

I have been using color renewing shampoos for years. I have naturally blonde hair that varies from medium to light ash blonde depending on the season. This one works almost as good as the one I was getting from the salon but at a fraction of the price. It lathers well and does a really good job of cleansing. The salon one required me to use an additional shampoo to cleanse-so John Frieda's product actually saves me a step. The shampoo smells great. During the winter, 1x/week works fine. In summer, 2-3x/week is needed. I continued to use my regular conditioner and did not notice any drying from this product.
