Why are there so many users selling 'Large' or '58cm' bikes when I need a medium or 56cm. Please can we arrange a shift in the height of the users of stw thanks. My growing days are behind me, in fact I'll probably start shrinking soon 🙁

I usually see mostly mediums when I look.

I like your thinking 🙂 . Alas not bikes that I am looking to buy (more's the pity) 🙁

I don't really approve of tall people... I just don't get it

What is their purpose exactly?

If we weren't tall, you little people would have to be angry about something other than your lack of height.

BTW - 'Large' and '58cm' aren't even on the lower end of tall.

It's more like fatties in the FS section as all the clothing tends to be at least one 'X' large if not more! Odd that, for a forum of sportspeople eh? I wonder if they're selling to size up, or down?

Yeah, if you can't take the shortness, go back to... er... growing. Or something.

Bloody short people. Coming over here and stealing all the things from low shelves that us tallies have trouble bending down to.

It's all 'own brand' down there. So I've heard. For the poor little people. Good stuff is always on the higher shelves.

There is hardly anything for tall people in the FS forum! 58cm, sheesh...

What's the current alternative to a Cannondale tourer or road frame these days? I stupidly never got a 25" T1000 back then...I think they did a racier 66cm road frame too.

Blimey! I've been looking for an XL Singular Swift for months now, I'm beginning to think it's just short-arses who ride 29ers!

I fancy trying a Soma ES when I save up a bit more cash.

As per usual, some brilliant responses here and it seems that we may have matched some sellers to buyers 🙂 Always good when something positive comes out of a moan!
