Anyone got one and how do they measure compared to "normal"?
I'm 5'9 ish but usually ride a 52cm c-t with a horizontal top tube 53cm.
Got a feeling the medium might be too long for me at 55cm.
Do i need a trip to Ribble before i order?
Thanks in anticipation
dunno about the sizing but they do look gorgeous 🙂
From some forum chat recently I would suggest there is a good chance you'll have grown or shrunk, depending on your current age, by the time you actually get it.
I'm the same as you (although I NEVER call it dar- you know the rest). I'd go with the small and get a longer stem/layback post if needed. I also have a very short reach for a 5'9" er. 55cm top tube would be too long for me.
I suppose MTBers do tend to ride a bit short, but 53cm horizontal does seem rather short for somebody 5'9" (I'm that height and have 56cm). Though if that is right for you, just get whatever has the same horizontal top tube (the only measurement that really matters, assuming the same seat angle).
if you look at the geometry, theyre sized slightly longer than standard bike, hence a 58 is more like a 60 etc
