Merida Scultura 100 Juliet (2017)

The 2017 Merida Scultura 100 Juliet is an entry-level women's-specific road bike. A light and agile performer, the 100 is also a friendly introduction to the road; its relaxed geometry is more comfortable for the new rider, and the broad Maxxis Dolomite tires provide a modicum of cushion. All riders will like the vibration-damping carbon fork, and the highly efficient aluminum main frame. Kit is solid: Shimano shifting is quick and clean, the drivetrain incorporating a stiff FSA crankset for solid power transfer.
A good beginner's road bike.
