Eyup Gaz,

I can't see it being too much of a problem pal, although the wheels might not last as long as you'd like. I'd also be careful to get the right size for yourself, you won't want too much seatpost sticking out.


Giz a shout when you get one and i'll come out for a baz about with you.

How long would you be thinking about the wheels ?

Someone mentioned a Giant Defy 4 would that be any stronger ?

Deffo up for a ride once I get this situation sorted, Fancy the veladrome too

If it was my money i'd go for the vitus, if only 'cos I reckon xenon's better than sora, but that might just be me.

Wheels? might get 2000 miles out of them, it's hard to say. Keep 'em true and they might be alright, but i'd start saving for some handbuilts straight away.

Hi all

Does anybody have any experience of this bike? Particularly sizing? The largest frame they have at CRC is 54cms. Would that be large enough for a 6' bloke?

Thanks in advance, Andy

get handbuilts right away, point of purchase is the time to start driving a deal

handbuilts have been so much sounder and solid for me, my 15/16st and London roads used to bend wheels

If it's relaxed or semi relaxed frame then 54cm might be large ...

If that's as big as they routinely go then it must be big enough, 6' is hardly freakishly tall, find one in a shop and try it
