Cheers @Bezzin everyone I hear from/meet who has one seems to feel the same way as you, which is encouraging!
@edscoble funnily enough I ended up in Soho Bikes not one hour ago, due to @Dammit 's kindness, with the Eastway and they had a Large and Medium 2016 flyer, which which I could do direct comparisons (I also had the Rourke measurements with me, rather sadly)
It would appear that with a 120/130mm stem and about 300mm of seat post the M (56ish) would work, but the fit on the L (58ish) would be far closer, without having large amounts of scaffolding protruding.
It was probably just me not measuring too exactly, but both bikes came up a tiny bit smaller than the brochure geo.
First time in Soho bikes btw, nice shop and friendly people.
So I suppose that means i'm after a L Flyer frame, if anyone has one they are keen to part with.... (will still mock up my clubmates frame though in BC to see how it looks)
