• Currently looking at picking up a local complete Pre Cursa for ~£200.

    I'm 6ft witha 33" inseam and currently ride a 56cm GT gravel bike.

    The Pre Cursa is 54cm and current rider says they're 5ft11. I've read here about sizing down, but just wondering if there's anyone else my height with a 54cm frame and can comment?

  • I used to be on a 54cm FXE and am a tiny bit taller than you. However, my legs are a bit short for my torso, so the stack was alright, but I was using a 130mm stem to get the right amount of reach. So reasonably speaking, I probably should have been on a 56cm frame at least. Still really enjoyed it though, and used the bike both for commuting and long rides.

  • Nice one, good to know. Yeah the stem included looks like a decent length, so I'll take a punt on it and go for a test ride.

    Here's some pics (and no, that campag wheel on the front unfortuantely isn't included in the £200 price)
