Sizing advice for Felt Dispatch

[jay clock]

I am thinking of a Felt Dispatch. It looks perfect for me if I go for a s/s or fixed bike - none of this "hey I'm an urban hipster" vibe. (I am one of those, just don't need to shout about it.....)

Here is the link http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Felt_Dispatch_2010/5360045931/

Sizing is 51/54/56/58/61

I am 5.10 (ish) with about 32 inside leg. Anyone got one of these, and any idea on whether I should go for 54 or 56?

I'm looking at the same bike.

I am a little smaller than you and ride a 56 road bike, although I am wanting a smaller frame for this bike so might/will probably go for the 54. Granted I have a longer inside leg than most people of my same height.


54cm has 170mm cranks
56cm has 172.5mm cranks

so you will want to consider that too.


Btw, go sign up for their newsletter, you will get a £5 off an over £50 order, and get the bike for £345


I can't help you more than that sorry.

cheers... I am going to go with the 56 I think. I have a 54cm BMC road bike but previously had a 56cm Scott, so I am somewhere in the middle

Thanks for the tip re the £5. I have done that before, but (as a tip to those who aren't in the know) as I am already signed up I will have to unsign first.

Am just going to measure current bikes etc to see about the 54-56 debate

UPDATE - now ordered the 56cm and very excited.
