Interesting! Thank you.
Fit is booked for Saturday November 9th. So it’s not really going to hold things up. Better to get it right.

Just to be sure, and because it’s something I once thought about doing and never did. I’ve decided to get a bike fit done. At least that way I have something solid to base my decision on.

Small but important update on the project. After having done a load of measurements I seem to be kind of between frame sizes.
So I’m dithering a bit on which to go for. The XL at 60cm or the L at 57cm. I’m 188cm tall with an 86cm inseam. Have checked a variety of fit calculators and they’re recommending anything from 57cm to 60cm, with 58cm being the sweet spot.
Hmmm…
I’m thinking go for the L in 57cm, better on the smaller side than too big.
Rufus Stone dimensions attached FYI.

I’ve now found the Seasucker goes up to 3 bikes, which would be perfect.
I’m not worried about the Jag, having been built at a time when everything was a lot more solid than today.
I think it was Clarkson who once reviewed it (he had one for a while, as did Hammond) saying it was made out of “rock and iron and churches”.

Ooh, now these look interesting. Looks like a max of two bikes though, but that could be workable for a couple of years.
Bike fit was great. Really insightful. Anyone who’s been thinking about a bike fit but not done it - you really should!
I’m an XL in the Rufus Stone, so all is well and I now have the confidence of knowing for sure what size frame suits me best. How to tweak it regarding lever position, stem length/height, saddle position and post height.
