Thats lovely

Frame size 48 suiting a 5' 10" rider?

 

[120308]

Yes - as it's a compact frame, that's why I included the effective (theoretical horizontal) top tube length for reference.

Hmmm, I may be missing something but my frames are all compact and are 53's and 54's but fit me as a 5'7" rider.

But what are your "effective" top tube length's?
Bit of interesting reading on someone sorting out which RC2 frame to but-

Maybe Kinesis use a different measure to other manufacturers?
Can anybody more knowledgeable than me shed some light on this?
A friend of mine is interested in this bike but obviously the fit is crucial

 

[Milzy]

From the charts I've seen this bike is more for people up to 5' 7"

The bike is now provisionally sold.

To what size of person? Love the bike, BTW, but I would have the same misgivings as Rich over sizing. Not that it matters, as I don't have £400...

 

[Milzy]

5 foot 8 is fine with that seat dropped a bit.

 

[Milzy]

Awesome bike, nice to meet you & see your stable.

I got home for about 19:50

All the best.

Is it yours, then?

Good to see that you're happy with it.
As a matter of interest (for the forum), how much did you drop the saddle?
I had it set at about 890mm!!!
Take care.

It's only about 10 inch but I need to go on a long ride to decide if & where it moves.
