Thanks a lot for the input, I certainly have no intention of buying the wrong size this time. My requirements are all there, and I do like a bargain. I'm going to call them, maybe try and reserve, but I will let you know what I find on Friday.
The tennis elbow surgery scar on my left arm tells me too large is bad
Just shows too big bikes can be very bad and cause chronic injury
We've done this before - so can small ones!
Don't recall
It is! Round the corner from where i work and a fine bunch of cycling enthusists and v helpful.
Nice, I'll keep it in mind.
Shame. The medium has a 56cm TT no?
I don't think so, I'm sure he said it was 54, either way it was too small. I really liked the cut off this guys jib, he didn't waste any time trying to sell me anything else as I was looking for quality components and liked the look of the Reynolds tubing. He gave me an honest assessment between all the bikes in my price range and at the risk of losing a sale, the bike I highlighted was by far the best. I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't me but @vickster who had actually highlighted the quality bike.
Yes, can't remember now if that was just stock tube or aluminium. When you first posted the link, the Reynolds tube was one of the first things that stood out.
