Im really interested in a Cove Stiffee that was on the classifieds a few days ago.

Its a 19" frame, and im 5'11" with 32" inside leg (if that makes any difference).

With the Stiffee being angled more towards the FR end of things should I be looking at a smaller frame size or will 19" be just about right?

My friend is 6'0 and his 19" is perfect so I'd say go for it! My other friend is 6'2 with a 19" stiffee (ahem) and he is probably the limit, height wise.

Personally I'd go with an 18" med frame with the 23" TT. That's what I had and I'm 5'10.5" with 32" inside leg. I ran it with a layback post and 70mm stem and found it a riot. In fact I quite miss it!! Seem to be plenty around so reckon it's worth holding out for the right size.

I'm 6'1* and ride a 17.5" so you might want to try it first.

hmm, trying isnt really an option as the bike is too far away.

might give it a miss if its going to work out too big...back to the drawing board for me I think
