  • I need to send Richard my desired dimensions.

    Not sure what to do about this. I currently ride frames with seat tubes in the 57 - 61 cm range. Most comfortable is 59 / 60 ish.

    However, I am now in my 60's, so expect to start getting slowly shorter, so thinking maybe 58 might be best.

    Was just looking at bike fitting - now that is expensive!

    And full of charlatans.

  • weeeeeeelllll, I take a 60-62cm, so I reckon get a 60 & sell it to me if/when it gets too big.

    in all seriousness, if it were me I would get the right size now, rather than trying to guess a different size to "grow into", but I'm younger than you & foolish

  • I understand RS asks for saddle height, reach from saddle to bars, and saddle to bar drop, and he does the rest. I think if you gave him those (current) details, assuming they're comfy now, with the brief that the fit should have room to go up and back a touch as you get older, he could probably factor that in.
