I’m 5’9″ and 32″ trouser leg and I need bikes with short top tubes. My ideal road bike top tube is 53cm, most people my size go for 54cm or 55cm. I have the 18″ Ltd Race, I’ve put a 110mm Deda race Zero stem on it and it’s still a tad short. This is unheard of for me. I had an Orange 5 in 18″ which was too big really. Replaced it with a 16″ which was spot on if that helps give you an idea of sizing?
It’s been all over the Peak District every week over the last 8 weeks since I got it it’s been whacked by up flying rocks on every ride. Not a mark on it!
I’ve said it before on here and I’m probably boring everybody to death with it by now but I love this bike and lord knows, I have had AND still have a few over the years.
This one is a keeper.
If your near me or riding this way soon Spud, shout up, you can have a go.
