Hey folks,

Im in the market for a Cyclo Cross bike for a few adventure races in the new year. Was hoping to get one on the bike to work scheme, but circumstances have dictated other wise.

I have a budget of about 450 max so I know its not going to be an easy task. I also have a raleigh airlite roadbike that I can offer up as part payment if anyone is interested.... i'm 5'9 so a frame that would suit that size, not sure on frame sizing really!

Thanks!

It's a 54. According to the Ridley site it would fit your 5'9 pretty good.

whats up man,

I've been doing some research and I think the 54 frame would be too big for me. The ridley site says min inseem leg 87.9 cm's and mine only measures up at 82.5 so id say id be quite streched out on the bike. Think im going to have to give it a miss unfortunately. One size smaller and I would have snapped it straight up.

Sorry about that.
