I've been hankering after a Ritchey Outbreak myself but can't justify the ££'s. The fearless vulture gets a good write up. Cheap ish too.

Thanks. Good deal on that rondo but think my heart is set on a fairlight now.

Anyone got any ideas on sizing?

Got a Secan myself.
Been using it for CX currently and it's been sound, smooth and comfortable.
About to turn into a winter commuter with 28mm road tyres and full guards.
Come April I will possibly use it for the HONC and maybe with some 650b wheels!
Very versatile!

Best get an email to them or measure existing bike.
I am 6"2' with 34" Inseam and initially had a 58r.
Changed to a 58t and felt more comfortable with it.
Thanks,
Max
