bit late to this and most of what I'm going to say has already been spoken about,
but I rode an old kona cindercone for 15 odd years, thinking it was all right for me, only to do a cycle fitting with roger @ mosquito and find out that I'd been wrecking myself all that time. All the aches and pains I used to get riding, sore neck, shoulders etc, all gone now. Plus I feel quicker and feel like i can ride for longer. In actuality Iphysically might not be any quicker but you know its all in the head.
would advise everyone to get fitted properly, makes a hell of a lot of difference. plus you get many a print out that gives you information for the perfect custom fit for you, so you can just send out your info to bike maker of choice and get them to build you the perfectly sized bike.
You can figure out the ins and outs of sizing via trial and error, and most people usually do, but to find out definitively best to get sized.
I will now stride nonchalantly into the sunshine for a pint....
