SOLD - Boardman Pro SLR Carbon 2015 (Medium).

[SuffolkBlue]

After getting some increasing neck pain whilst riding, my latest bike fit shows I am 1.5 inches shorter than last fit 5 years ago (getting old is a pain!). I have always been awkward and sized between medium and small frames and have owned both over the years. Despite attempts by the bike fitter and me to further fine tune the fit it’s time to accept that this bike is now too big and to go exclusively to a smaller frame bike.

I have owned from new. Well looked after and self maintained. Never crashed or dropped. It is cleaned regularly and in excellent condition. Very light and fast. Up until recently I have found it comfortable for endurance/sportive rides and I have enjoyed riding this bike.

Thanks for looking. Happy to take and send more photos if requested.

Nice bike. How tall are you?
I'm 5'8''

medium boardmans tend to be 55.5 top tube , im 5 foot 7 and and my 2 smalls i need a 90 stem so of course it might fit but i would say it would be too big ?

I was 5' 8" and was that height at my previous bike fit 5 years ago. I got on very well with the bike to start with but I suppose I was always at the lower end of the fit range. As I described in my opening post - I've always seemed to have been awkward and between frame sizes depending on the frame geometry. In the last year I eventually had to fit an 80mm stem to fine tune the fit. My latest bike fit measured me at 5' 61/2" (169cm) hence why I was starting to get uncomfortable.

@cyberknight is spot on - the top tube is 555 mm which in my opinion is quite long for a medium.

My present bike l have fitted with a very short stem so l can sit a bit more upright.
I'm on me hols atm so I'll have a carefull measure of what l have now and see what's gives.

Nice bike that, I’m only 5’7” and also learned the hard way.

Yep. A bit longer than my existing bike so would really be a stretch too far.

Yep, sensible decision. At 5'8" I was at lower limit of fit at the time although it was comfortable for a few years and many miles. Assuming that as we get older we shrink in the spine then the reach/top tube length is where I've then struggled with the fit.

Crikey. If it was 52cm I’d snap your hand off.

@sevenfourate have you seen this but over budget

Will that really take fat tyres and mudguards with mud clearance?
Only a medium too
