Wish I had a spare 700 quid. That bike's clean.
That too.

That's an odd way of sizing a road bike! I doubted that I have any 'nad clearance' at all on my road bikes, which fit me perfectly. I just checked and sure enough, I do make contact with the top tube when standing astride either bike. Only just, so not enough to cause problems.I tried a CAAD12 for size at LBS and a 54 frame leaves enough clearance stand over height and has plenty of adjustment to set up but a 56 was a tad close to the nads stand over. My Genesis is a 56 so it looks like they come up big. Real shame because I live the cannondale lime green and looked at the CAAD12 dura ace because I didn't like the 105 black

I have never had any painful nad-to-top-tube problems in 20 years of riding those bikes. Mountain biking is a different matter - I have about 10 cm of nad clearance on my MTB but have landed on the top tube a few times after panic dismounts.

Where about are you? There's much chatter about the size of this bike, maybe we should meet for you to have a look at it...
......it could be yours for the upcoming nice weekend ;-)
A lovely bike for somebody!Reduced to £600. I'm gutted I can no longer ride my bikes.
I've posted it on a Facebook cycling group I'm in for you @oiljam, hope that's OK.
I'm happy to act as a go between. If a non CC'er is interested I'll make the introductions![]()
