Funnily enough I am 6ft 1 and have long legs and love the ride of my 57/57.5 Cougar.
Have ridden a few bikes and as much as the geometry says this is the ideal size for my height, it comes down to how you feel on it. Am no daily rider just weekends and have a 531 57cm Team Pro and a couple of 58cm Gazelles. They all work for me. Not sure why, they just do.
Cheers, Roger -
At 6ft 1 I would have ordinarily thought a 57/58 is a smidge small for you unless you have relatively short legs in comparison ;o) I'm 5ft 11 and ride a 59c-c/62c-t Raleigh titanium (Spec. Products Div)
I know you have what you like but seems surprising that a 60cm doesn't work for you, have you also tried putting an ad on Retro Bike?Thanks for the post. I know what your saying (have long legs btw) 58 is right, I can get away with a 57 and tbh when I tried a 59 thought it was too big. Could be I need to ride a 59 for longer and get used to it
Put to the test a 58 is what I am comfortable with on the road
Cheers Roger.
Hi Engineer, Apologies for the delay in replying. now 18/6/14/. Have sick parents, mum now in care and slowly dying. Dad isn't well either. Chaos at our place. Cycling hasn't been on my mind for a long time. Right now i'll pass. Appreciate your offer.
