  Not sure, everything I read is about the alu frame.

  Planning on using drops to start and see how that goes. I like the more varied hand positions it gives.

  There is a bespoke bike builder near me who has a Calfee sizing bike, I am considering asking them if they will simulate each size so I can work out which I prefer.

  That's my biggest issue, I'm coming from no bike at the moment. I've done my measurements as best I can.

  My last bike was a Boardman Hybrid Pro and I had to get it in Small because the reach on it was insanely long. So now when I look at geometry charts I'm trying to guess based on that.

  Problem with that was I had a high saddle and low bars so the long reach on the Medium I was trying to avoid became long reach on the Small due to how big the saddle/bar drop was.

  I know I can just order one and try it, but I imagine it's pretty pricey to send a bike back and from what I've read it'll be me paying to send it back if it's the wrong size.

  So I am trying to get an idea by comparing with others, I know we all have various body/leg lengths and reaches, but it should give me a good idea on which to go for.

  Thanks for the info so far.

  Hmm, that doesn't look too bad. I guess my saddle would be 2" lower than yours so it seems like a good fit.

  Sadly, I can only find a 54cm in stock in the UK at the moment.

  Was it a good ride? Would you recommend it to a FG newbie?

  I am 5'9" with a 31.5" inseam and ride a 56cm.

  Thanks, that helps a bit. How do you find the 56? I think it would be a bit big for me.

  I'm considering the 54 or 52, I don't want the saddle slammed but I also don't want silly saddle to handlebar drop.

  Hey all, sorry to bump this.

  I am looking at the Vigorelli steel and was wondering what size you guys ride?

  I'm 5'8", 30" inseam, unsure whether to go Small or Medium.
