I got a second hand strael 56t - from their size guide I should have been 58r which seemed huge, if I put myself down by a cm height wise I got 56t so assumed it would be fine. But also found the sizing tool surprising - I’m just about 183cm.

Conversely to you, I really love the bike. I sold my ‘nice’ rim brake roadie and am keeping just this. Has 32s and panniers atm for a week in Netherlands soon (terrible photo).

yours is a strael - his is a secan

i also think the sizing guide should be taken with a pinch of salt. i am surprised at 6ft you went for a 58R. i am 6ft 3 and ride that size (albeit in strael form. fits like a glove)

Yeah, I agree. What chance do you think I've got of sending a nice message and asking them to hugely discount a 56T in replacement? Haha.
