Question.
Is it just me, or are Boardman CXs very long? Recently acquired a small framed version, but at 5'7" it feels quite stretched out and has the same TT as my Medium Giant Defy.
Thinking of selling it on, and going for something like a Merida Cyclo Cross 4.
...which brings me onto my second question:
Anyone have can offer any opinions on the Merida? Looks half decent, but wondering about a) sizing as their size chart looks way off....i.e Usually a 52cm framer being 5'7", but they list 52cm for 5'5>6' range. So would I need a 48cm? ...and b) with such a short headtube on them and tight angles, it looks like toe overlap central.
