Hopefully obtaining an Orange Crush, I'm 5.11" 12st...should I go for the 17" or the 19"

BTW, lovely looking bike...anyone got any snaps to wet the whistle?

good luck finding one , I'm 6ft 1 " and I've got a 17 " its the right size for me but the top tubes a little short, changing the stem to a 70 mm and a seatpost with 20 mm setback solved this

I'm 6'2 on a 19" with a thomson layback. I've been told ( when being fitted for a tourer by paul hewitt) I have a long torso. 19 feels fine. I would think a 17 for you but try one out.

decided on a 17"- better to chuck about a bit...plus could always go for a longer stem if a little cramped in the cockpit.

I'm 5'11" and I plumped for a 17". However, I did have to get a longer seatpost, as it comes with a 350mm, which was about 2cm too short for comfort. Also, the handlebars are 660mmm wide/narrow (whichever way you look at it), which I found to be way too narrow.

Leisure Lakes had quite a few last week.

I found the bar width to be perfect but that's down to personal preference
