Hmm, not been to the newport track - might be worth a spin out

numplumz wrote on Jan 15

Initially this is for Rocko club members but if we need to fill spots Rich I'll let you know.

Yer, I mean't a spin out to Newport to say hi rather than a day on the track

God knows. I have the saddle at 90cm if that helps. I'll look on some when I got in tonight, but if that fails, I'll have a light, small, fast one pls.

numplumz wrote on Mar 4

its the center to top tube size or whatever they call it, should be in the 40-56cm range I'm guessing.
its all a foreign art to me too.

troytheboy wrote on Mar 5

oh dear i am struggling a bit with this one i have a 31" inside leg....... any good?

bikinggod wrote on Mar 5

From the centre of the bottom bracket, straight up to top of the seat tube ranges from 52 to 53.5 on my road bikes. Anywhere near there should be ok.

numplumz wrote on Mar 5

sounds about right think I'm a 56cm
Troy you will be 54 I reckon would do.

bikinggod wrote on Mar 5

Oh, and black would be nice too.

numplumz wrote on Mar 14
