Well ive conceded that my croix de fer custom build i bought 2 years ago is indeed too small so time to get let go of what is an otherwise beautiful bike and replace with a more comfortable, long distance/light touring ride.
The croix de fer is a 50cm frame buit im nearer 52, maybe 54 at a push (5ft6.5, 30 inch inseam). I either just swap the frameset for an larger croix de fer or equilibrium disc, get a titanium off the peg frameset or get a 853 steel framset built up by jason/brian Rourke.
I have a trek emonda sl5 in 52cm for my carbon hilly/speedy rides and that fits just fine.
Any experiences or advice would be most welcome.
Cheers
