Hey y'all,
I've just had some rather strange sizing advice from Spa over the phone regarding their steel tourer:
spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s143p2984
I would normally have a 56cm top tube on my bikes, thus meaning I'd be looking at the 51cm sizing (their sizing with the sloping top tube), however spa suggested I'd need at least the 54 or 57 sized bikes, giving me a 58 or 60cm VTT.
Am I just being stupid or do spa have strange sizing ideas?
For reference, I'm 179cm and have a 56cm supersix and genesis equilibrium which are both a great fit. I'd imagine for touring, if anything, I'd want to have a similar or shorter VTT not longer?!
