got a new frame on way

[Levo-Lon]

Cant keep pi55ing about with this sensa 54cm frame so ordered a RT58 in 52cm today
got the blue as i like the colour and as its only 130 quid on special offer its a small gamble.
my stuff should all swap over so just a bit of cableing and fit to sort.
geometry with the 52 and sportive frame should work well.

if i get the bike right i can get the miles in and the I'll know what i need for the big spend ..
pics to follow..and a frame sale..

Lovely looker and great value at that price.

Just the gears to sort....But we need to go food shopping×÷=@#×÷# Really..bless her..im liking this so far and noticeable frame size difference..good bit more comfort im thinking.
top tube is 30mm shorter and 20mm higher..
i love bike building..

 

[Levo-Lon]

Left a little room for bar adjustment..and stem change..
love it..just a quick spin now

 

[Arrowfoot]

That was bloody quick. Nice.

It rides a treat and feels so much better..proper happy with the rt58..
cant believe 20 30mm makes so much difference in top tube and head length.
i have a 90mm stem to try and a few mm off the fork steerer..i think lol


i have a mint Sensa 54cm frame to sell now..shame but i was told i needed a 54..but actually a 52 was the right size in a sportive geometry

Nice!
Im looking at their carbon frame in blue for £299, a 52 sounds right for me as well.

im 5'8 with a 30 inside leg..nice thing with this 52 is i can grow it with stem and seat etc..the 54 was always too big with 100 mm of post sticking out and a 70mm stem . And still awful

i may invest in a carbon post now as i can have a decent amount of post length so more flex

How much steerer tube and spacers?

Nice colour though

Interesting , im 5 foot 7" with a similar leg , my commuter is a 54 with an 80 stem .

The sensa frame is a big frame and a bit arse up style ,its more 55cm after comparison with this rt58
The internet buy bikes are a gamble and this was a pity as i love the smooth weld carbon look .
it will be a good frame for a 5'10 rider..

More rings than Saturn Vickster..lol does need a smidge off..i used every spacer i could find..
