Mate is looking to buy first proper bike, and taking the advice of the forum: "just buy an Arkose".
He's 188cm, torn between L and XL. Pinnacle sizing suggests CL, but he's not very flexible, and Im thinking he's better off on a shorter bike. Its easy to get a longer stem down the road.
Anyone here riding an Arkose around his height?
Edit: Also some proper shitfromabutt in Epping today, questionable choices had been made (35 slicks, SPD-SL) as we were supposed to stay on the hard packed roads.... we didnt.
