I think the picture at 18mm distorts the actual drop from seat to bars. It looks more severe there than it actually is. The sloping top tube of the PX also distorts it maybe. I'm 6' 1 on a 56, probably right at the top of what's reasonable, but 58's are just too much of a stretch. I find this set up very comfortable.
As it happens, I did a fitting on the bike previously and the seat was actually another 5-10mm higher, but I dropped it back down a bit.0 -

@Levitronix. Lovely bike. Looks a bit meaner than mine below! It'll be a case of who hasn't bought a Canyon over the Winter when the league begins on Sunday.:)

I decided to use my new "hack" today for the club league. I tell ya, if you could fit a set of Zipps to your Ma, she's look the business. I've yet to come across a bike that couldn't be improved with a set of wheels capable of doubling its total value
Got a lot of compliments about it so I decided to lash up a photo. The rider was definitely the weakest link today anyway. Very flat course, so if I had maneuvered myself into contention for the sprint I might have bemoaned the compact setup but as it was it was fine, and the average speeds were well up there.
Anyway, here's a gander.

Christ, if I had a bike as good as either of these when I was a kid I'd truly have been King of the playground and parish.
Been looking at bikes for the two kids and was very very tempted to splash out on islabikes for them, they seem to be a good head and shoulders over anything else on offer, but then came across these two for sale on adverts. Absolutely mint condition.
A beautiful little Kona 7 speed and a little Giant XTC. They're really fabulous.
Can't wait to go shopping for little dinky road bikes for 'em

It may look that way, but 150mm for a large puts it on a par with the likes of the cannondale supersix and about 10mm shorter than a tarmac SL4.
Looks can be deceiving. Go on, buy one!0 -

Haha.. I think I had enough of PlanetX at this stage. The next one is going to be special (whenever if ever!) 0
