Ok heres the deal....I have decided to take advantage of the 2008 Spesh single tricoss deal - £275 which has to be a bargain?

Right

Im 5ft 9

Do I go for a 54cm or a 52cm ?

I ride retro konas and prefer my bikes to be on the small side with a jacked up seat post....I prefer the handling and of course the look.

But will this be a bad idea with a tricross bike ? ie is the geometry totally different and not quite suitable for my preference?

i'd err on the side of the 54, i'm 5'10" and the 56 fits me like a glove, but i know people of a similar size and taller then me that have gone for 54s, internet advice is no substitute for actually going and sitting on one

I'm a 5'10"ish and I was torn between the 54 and 56 in the comp. I went with the 56 as it had longer cranks and wider bars. I just fitted a 90mm stem.

I''m just the opposite. 5'7" I think with a 30" leg. Got an XS Tricross. Seems ok with lots of step over and the frame isn't too long.

5 ft 10

54cm Trek 1.7 and Tricross

I have quite short legs though - 56cm would be far too big for be..
