I'm going to make a left-field recommendation here. Get him a Ultegra Di2 groupset if he is so small.howdy all.
thinking I might upgrade the young fellas new ride for the sake of it.
He is a young D grade rider that weighs as much as a wet towell.
so been advised to pay attention to these rides.. Whats peoples thoughts or input? Looking at the $3500 mark.
Argon 18 Galium Pro Frame with sram red (no wheels he would use his own)
Specialized SL3 Tarmac expert.
Giant Advanced SL1.
Obviously the lighter the better...
thanks for any input or other brands. I havent discounted any brand what so ever.
cheers.

Reason for that, I was talking to a mechanic in the new Atelier DeVelo bike shop here in the Sydney CBD. I was comparing my Campagnolo groupset to the newer Ultegra Di2 and how it may be better (or worse). His first comment was that Di2 is easier on the hands. He had been working on a few bikes with Ultegra mechanical a couple of days earlier, and by the third bike, he was finding it hard work physically to change the front gears up.
So maybe for a young fella who is not as strong, having a push-button groupset could mean he wastes less energy on simply changing gears.
Could that be a better upgrade for him than a frame etc, or rather than the SRAM Red? Just thinkin...
