Hopefully obtaining an Orange Crush, I'm 5.11" 12st...should I go for the 17" or the 19"
BTW, lovely looking bike...anyone got any snaps to wet the whistle?
good luck finding one , I'm 6ft 1 " and I've got a 17 " its the right size for me but the top tubes a little short, changing the stem to a 70 mm and a seatpost with 20 mm setback solved this
I'm 6'2 on a 19" with a thomson layback. I've been told ( when being fitted for a tourer by paul hewitt) I have a long torso. 19 feels fine. I would think a 17 for you but try one out.
Sunset in Cardiff have messaged me with both a 17 and a 19 in stock 😀
go for it zomer .) haven't had time to take any pics yet I'm afraid

decided on a 17"- better to chuck about a bit...plus could always go for a longer stem if a little cramped in the cockpit.
I'm 5'11" and I plumped for a 17". However, I did have to get a longer seatpost, as it comes with a 350mm, which was about 2cm too short for comfort. Also, the handlebars are 660mmm wide/narrow (whichever way you look at it), which I found to be way too narrow.
Leisure Lakes had quite a few last week.
the 2011 crush is out now - might find the 2010 a little hard to find..
2010's easy to find, just call Sunset as OP has.
most places have sold out though
I found the bar width to be perfect but that's down to personal preference
