After impending redundancy (just without the payoff :cursing:) I've had to sell my good bike :sad: but bills had to be paid. Managed to squirrel away a few quids and it was my birthday the other day so I've got the green light from swmbo but I need a bargain. After a carbon frame only ever had Boardman or Specialized and I'm a Large in them which is a 56cm. What you got hidden away that your never going to use people. Be kind and take pity pleaseeeeeee :biggrin:
Cheers all.

I was right about that saddle
Bad luck mark, I am also in "leafy" Berks. Hope you can find something else in this busy county.

I'm surprised you both fit the same size frame. I thought you were a bigger build than our local metric ton muncher.


I am just on the cusp of a 56 with a shorter stem. Prefer a larger frame then small. Especially with the Spesh Roubaix geometry.

I'm 5ft 11 but short legs and long body I tried the medium for a weekend bit to cramped for me. I find a 56 with a 90 mm stem fits me just fine.

Forgive me if im wrong but i thought halfords sizing meant the sizing was a bit off, my small is listed as a 51 but has a 53 top tube and the large if i remember rightly was a 57 ?

Yes I found that they seemed to have the Large listed as 55 and the medium 53.5 when I bought mine (a while ago). Spesh I'm 56 though so that's all good.
