Evans did offer to change my bike to give me more stand over height, but that involved waiting another two weeks for a smaller size and i don’t do waiting, and i had already fallen in love
Fresh from Evans Cycle in Birmingam
I had about a couple of millimeters clearance (depending on surface)
Two days later
Stitches and lots of drugs…..don’t ask me where or how many stitches i got (not that flexible) but it would of been easier to pee if i could do handstands.
OMG the pain was unbearable (i had to wear a skirt and go commando 8O
and it was blooming drafty :( and i couldn’t close my legs
Still have the bike as it’s blooming awesome, but stand over height does have it’s benefits (for one you wont have to wear a blinking skirt :( )
It may be different for chaps as you lot have those built in airbags to cushion slamming into the top tube.
PS
Keep this post just between us as i don’t want to lose my trail skills cred :oops:
