Lo Pro Sizing?

If I were to purchase a lo pro frame (not that I would of course) is there anything I need to know about sizing?

i.e If I ride a 58 (seat tube c-c) would I be ok on a lo pro with the same seat tube?

Obviously I wouldn't buy a lo pro...... so impractical, and I obviously wouldn't put an arrospok on it either, obviously. And of course I wouldn't chop the bars down to 20cm, or have a t-t protector...... madness.

Oh, and are 650 arrospoks cheaper?

Stand over height half way along the top tube is usually an ok indication, but kind of depends how lo

I ride a 57cm track frame and am just building up a 58cm Low Pro. It's not the most exaggerated geometry. Road frame with gentle slope. Dunno if that helps any?

As for spok's. Can't afford one myself (don't have fiddy dorra), not that I'd ever put one on the bike as well of course!! But 650's in general do tend to come up cheaper, 2nd hand on the bay anyway.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
