After much deliberation over the state of my post-christmas finances, I have just decided to take the plunge with one of these.
I am just over 5' 11" and plumped for a 56cm as per the Pearsons website, but having read this thread I am now considering giving them a ring on Monday and seeing if that can't be swapped out for a 54cm... Given I tend to like my bikes on the smaller side (I ride a 17" Orange MTB and a 'M' Giant Compact Road Bike) I think this may be wise!
Also, it may be a silly question, but would this be suitable for conversion to fixed? If so, what parts would I need to get - obviously I'll need another sprocket, but a lockring? Which type?
