    First time poster here. Apologies in advance for the nth sizing question.

    I'm thinking about ordering a Fuji track from Evans as my introduction to fixed gear but I'm still unsure on what frame size to choose.

    I was pretty much set on a 58cm up until I read the last posts on this thread, see I'm about the same size as fellow newcomer 'gatsmart', towering at 192cm (6.3 ft with 36" inseam) and apparently the 61cm would be best suitted.
    Needless to say that my whole perspective is now shattered...especially since there's a 100 quid difference between the 2009 58cm at Evans and the 2008 61cm at Holcros.

    I know that height/inseam are not the only determining factors and that I should probably try the different sizes but it's not an option as I live in Belgium.

    I have the idea that a frame a little too small would be better than a frame too big especially since I'm looking for a more straight riding position/responsive bike in an urban surrounding (Brussels).

    But I'm quite the noob so if any of you Fuji owners within the same height range would care to chime in that'd be great.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    Mat
