Dolan bike sizing

[bertwelsh]

I am considering my first road bike and like the look of the Dolan L'etape.
I am 6' 1.5" tall and they seem to recommend a L size which is only 52 cm.
Will this really be big enough?
Any one of a similar size with a Dolan that could help?

Hi @bertwelsh.

I'm afraid I don't know about Dolan sizing but will say to the site.

Asking the question in the "What bike?" section should get to a wider audience.

Best to contact a Dolan stockist
57/58 for a road bike..... 6"1"

The L'etape has a compact/sloping tube design. The size L pretty much corresponds to the 56/58 size on a "traditional" geometry bike. I'd definately give Dolan a ring, the sales guys are pretty well clued up and know their stuff - even better if you can get up to Ormskirk yourself, they'll pretty much bend over backwards to get you fitted properly.
