Well I used taking these pics as an excuse to stop and have a rest! So i figured I may as well post them

 

[roadiewill]

Taken today? Looks like a good day out .

bit of a beast then

 

[punkypossum]

Nice (but then I'm biased )!

That is a big bike tho, how tall are you?

Yeah, I managed to get out in a good part of the day me thinks!

Punkypossum - I'm about 6 foot...6 foot 1 at a push? (surely I should know exactly how tall I am!?!? lol!) but yeah I thought a 60 was a big frame? I sat on a 58 and the guy seemed surprised and suggested I got a 60. It's my first ever bike so I've taken his advice and am totally in his hands!! They've got a good reputation as a LBS though (J E James in Chesterfield) so I hope it's the right size!!

You must be part of the short leg brigade then! I'm a couple of millimetres under 6 foot and mine is the 56 - could have got away with a 54...

Same here, Im about 2 cm under 6 foot and ride a 56 tarmac. You sure that isnt too big for you, or do you have gorilla like proportions? i.e really long arms and short legs

 

[mickwood]

I really wouldn't know roadie? but the guy sat me on a few bikes and even he seemed surprised when he realised I'd be better on a 60??

Looks good!
Is that just the photo or have you got some serious angle on that saddle?

 

[mickwood]

Serious angle!? erm...don't think so, as far as I can tell it's parallel....but then I am a New boy on the block and could quite easily have it all a cock'a'hoop!!

 

[Joe]

If it's comfy it's right!

 

[roadiewill]

hmmm did you try a 58 or a 56?

 

[mickwood]

yeah, i tried a 58. The guy was surprised but recommended a 60 and when he saw me on that he said that's the size I need??

Too Late now!! lol!
