i'm thinking of getting an IRO angus, but their frame sizes seem somewhat 'out of whack'.
I'm a hairs breadth over 6' tall and consider my road frame quite a bit too small for me at 52cm measured centre to centre (it's also a bit cramped in length, despite having a wheelbase to rival most estate cars). ANYway, i've just been down to town to look at the IRO in 56cm and 59cm. The measurents are centre to top of the seat tube and are 52cm and 55cm respectively when measured CTC. in fact the 56cm is no taller than my current frame and even shorter. Put simply, I reckon the 59cm is the one to go for, especially as i quite like big frames, but i reckon the standover height (at 33") might bring my gonads dangerously close to the top tube...
any thoughts? any help'd be... helpful.
