Accy cyclist, post: 4225942, member: 21759"]I'm 6ft 1in and a 35in inside leg. I'm like you, i normally have a 58cm frame but according to the Bianchi size chart 58cm is too small for me.

 

[Accy cyclist]

How tall are you? (Sorry if you have already mentioned your height, but I haven't read all the posts.) You'd probably be several inches taller than me to need bikes that big and I didn't think you were a lot taller than me when I met you on Sunday!

The Saeco-Cannondale CAAD5 that I was riding (and that you commented on) is only a 58 cm frame.

Get the Cube. Bank card arrived yet?

No they said probably Thursday. As soon as it arrives i'll order the Cube.Unless something comes up more suitable at the last hour. Trouble is when i get it i won't be able to start anymore Rate this bike threads!

 

[vickster]

I'd just order it on a credit card and then pay it off when funds available...but you like the procrastination I also won't use a debit card online for large purchases, want the CC protection and no risk of someone emptying bank account!

No you can start...have I bought the wrong bike threads

Oh, of course - we were discussing that in THIS OTHER THREAD - I'm getting mixed up between different riders!

Those Bianchis do look on the small side for their nominal sizes. Their 61 cm bike is close to the size of my 58 cm Cannondale. Mind you, it is a moot point since they don't have any of the larger ones in stock anyway.

Yes, but once he has finally bought his bike, he will actually RIDE IT!

They replied to my e-mail about having a different cassette on.

Good Morning.

Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately this is a fixed spec and cannot be amended, you can only do this through bike builder and not the Special Edition.

Best Regards,

Dee

More blistering service from the bike industry.

I'm a fine one to talk ... even with my 68 mile ride on Sunday I am less than double your mileage and about 1,100 miles down on my target for early April!

What was the weather like there? We had really strong winds, rain and hail here, with just the odd spell of sun. Pretty cold too - 6 or 7 degrees most of the day, with a lot of windchill.
