The "best bike" is the bike that "fits" you the best, not the one with the lightest frame or lightest/best components! If you don't have a good fit, you will enjoy the ride less...if you enjoy the ride less you RIDE LESS!
My first bike was a $500 bike. I rode it ALL THE TIME. For years. It didn't matter the heat index. It didn't matter if I was riding through snow (mountain biker here). I was going to be out on that bike!
My next bike was $2,800. It didn't fit me as well, and subsequently, I rode less (well, that and a bit of PTSD from a head on collision with another rider on a trail!)
It is all about fit! And shame to the rider that may have sold it to you unless it WAS a perfect fit!
