I’m 5’9, 80cm inseam and went with a 52cm. Fits me perfectly but I’ve always found 54 frames too large, like I’m not fully in control. There is some toe overlap but nothing major (using 170mm cranks). It’s a really fun…

Here’s a few quick phone shots of mine now all built. Just needs the saddle position tweaking and steerer cutting to final length. I’m super happy with the small 52 at just under 5’9. A few things, the finish on the…

Just a heads up for UK shipping recipients. Don't trust any initial DPD delivery emails. Make sure you check the WXY tracking for true progress until the parcel is in the UK and in DPD's hands, then go with DPD…
I'm excited. I've just had news mine has been painted, I'm looking forward to receiving it now! I paid for the 15-35 day ($190) delivery. Is that likely to be the delivery time-frame still? I can't tell from the photos,…

I'd been watching their ebay for a small for ages and just gave up. None seemed to pop up in that size. Glad i've opted for a straight from Carbonda one as it's in my custom paint scheme which I don't have to do myself…
