I have a buddy looking to try some roadie racing as part of a Tri event... would probably need a medium frame.

Any assistance will be repaid with beer!

Or if someone knows an Alb bike shop that does rentals/demos that would be great too.

Well, road bikes dont go off Small medium or large. Hybrids will. But road bikes are a bit more specific, IE 54 cm 56 cm 58 cm 60 cm 52 maybe for a short guy possibly a 50. Much closer to an exact fit than a Mtn bike is

Depends on the material of the bike, many carbon bikes are now size small, med, large.
