Frame sizing (again)

naulpolan

Hi all I know this has been done to death but there is a lovely colnago frameset on adverts but I don't know if it would suit me. the size is a 54.5? I am around 5'7 with inside leg of 29in (shortarse, I know !!) Does anybody know if it would suit ? I have read a bit about Colnago frame sizing being a bit different> I currently have a Specialized Allez 54cm

I'd say it will fit you fine.

I'm about the same size and even I find 52 is little too large for me (currently on a 50).

Thanks folks I suppose the best thing to do is bring along a pair of wheels and stand over the frame and see.

Thanks dude It's good to hear from other 'vertically challenged' people. Maybe someday I'll be able to fit on a man's bike.:D:D
