I should have added that I have an Escapade and really like it. I ride a L Pompino and went for a L Escapade frame. It's a lovely bike but I can't help thinking I may have been better off with a M frame.
I couldn't decide between M/L Escapade either and ended up getting a Small Roadrat. Geometry is bang in the middle fit-wise, the only drawback is having to run an inordinate amount of seat post.
Is the Small Roadrat really inbetween the M and L Escapade? I shall have to examine this as an option. When you say a large amount of seatpost how much are we talking of and roughly what's you're inside leg dimension?
