  • Hi all,

    I'm keen as a project to buy a CAAD5 and build it up with Campagnolo parts. But, before I go ahead, I'd just like some help first on determining what size frameset to get, as I'm 5"9/177cm tall.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172536192684?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    I've seen the above on eBay, which is a 56cm, and the selling assures me it's the right size for me, but I'm not sure as my current bike is a 52cm Croix de Fer, though I'm probably better suited to a 54cm in this model.

    Also, on the above bike, is the price/condition about standard?

    Thanks

  • I'm 5 8" - I ride a 54. 52 also works for me (reach is about 1cm shorter, lots of seat post for extra pro-ness).

    56 is probably too big.

    I echo the sentiment here in that it's possible that the CAAD you linked to is done for.

    There's a CAAD9 and a CAAD7 frame on here for sells at the moment at pretty darn good prices.
