Am loving my new Pompetamine, but I think it’s a bit weee – I get toe-overlap with my 45 canoes, I feel I can’t get that far over the back without going over the back of the saddle, and I keep wheelying up climbs.

Thing is I hate garden gate frames and the XL is 3cm taller for 2cm longer, I think it’ll feel/look OK, what do you think? The Croix de Fer is better proprtioned but too much £££, little in steel comes up on the bay with disc mounts.
