Hi guys

Just about to pay up for a 2005 second hand C50 which is a 50S and I have ridden it and I just cant get easily used to the compact feel of these frames partly cos I have been riding a large Dale for some years. Im 179cm and the frame feels a touch small despite a bike shop saying it was OK. Any ideas-at least to reassure me?

Don't waste your money on a frame that doesn't feel right. Get yourself to a proper dealer and get measured up. Its false economy to try and save a few quid only to find the bike doesn't fit properly. No amount of seat pin and stem is going to resolve it in the long term.

As an FYI - I'm 193cm and ride a 59cm C50.
