Hello,

Thinking of getting one of the above. However as is often the problem I am between the small amd med frame sizes (I'm 5"6). I like the shorter TT length of the small as its 22.5" like my heckler but am a bit worried about the 14" frame size being too small for my long legs!!

Anyone else have the same issue? What was the outcome? Small or Medium?

Ta

If the sizing's anything like the original 456 a 16" won't be much longer, just taller seatube. Which is wierd considdering I demo'd a 16" which felt tiny and bought an 18" which felt fine despite being about a cm longer?

just get yourself a nice 410mm long Thomson post and the 14" if you want the shorter TT.

But you are kind of right in between 14 and 16". Able to try anyones 16" near you?

Unfortunately there is no one round here with one. I figure a long seatpostand the 14" will be the way to go. Plus the TT on the 14" is a touch longer that I thought at 22.8" while the 16" is 23.7" which is a bit too long.

Now to decide what colour!
