Wanted: Your bike to try

Hmmm, are you riding a 54 or summat like that, I'm 5ft 11, 32 inside leg and slightly longer arms for my body..I ride mostly 59/60 on steel (old skool 62cm titanium racer tho) and 57/58 ish in sloping tube racer stuff.
I'm not into the whole need 12" of seatpost sticking out and as you're not going for the power thing a larger frame is going to give you a little more comfort front end for sure.
If yer were passing LGC I'd let you have a spin on one of the steeds..
luck getting sorted, it's a bane getting a good fit despite all the advice/info ;o)

THANK YOU! Pretty much identical standing dimensions and I got completely different results to what I'm used to hearing/trying. Thank you so much for the offer. Inspiring to hear someone elses opinion.

Or you could go to the national bikes testing centres aka evans cycles that are everywhere. You 'pay' exactly a penny from your credit card and off you go, you can test all the bikes in the shop... Get the right person he or she wont even bother you or be bothered for not buying even an inner tube at the end of it...

Sorry being a shortie I only have 52cm or thereabout bikes... You are of course welcome to try out smaller frames if you like.

Blinks stupidly Why the hell did I not think of that! I have no manners + Evans = test ride joy! perfect! Thanks for the idea.
