Re: The Cycling Thread
You're a bad man Alan, I've started looking at bikes but this did give me a laugh, I wonder how it handles

Re: The Cycling Thread
That's the same road bike I have (aforementioned bottom bracket woes are on the mountain bike) and I really like it. Got rave reviews in the press when it was first launched on account of excellent value for money.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Okay, I am thinking that frame (57cm) will be a bit big for you - they are a short frame geometry and 53-55cm would be about right if you are proportioned normally.
It is the sort of bike to look for though. |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yeah I thought that but had a look at b'twins sizing guide and the 57 is apparently for 5ft 9 and up with 32-34 inch inside leg, I am 32 inside leg. So hopefully it should fit but if it don't I will keep looking. Cheers!

Biggest frame I can use is a 56, but all of my fleet are 54's, as the top tube are shorter, also about 54.
