Pro Connect 53cm

[Burnsey]

How many of us are still waiting for the Gents 53cm Pro Connect? I am getting very depressed reading all these reviews Having said that the weather here isn't the best for cycling, but I would like to give it a try

If you're not too tall I'd get the 49cm, like I have.
Im 5ft 11inch and its fine for me.
You see so many people these day riding around on bikes that are too small for them. But it doesnt stop them does it.
If you live close enough then go down and try out a 49cm.
Ive had my Pro-Connect 1 month next weeks and im glad I didnt have to wait for the 53cm all in all.

Hi Bob

Whats your inside leg measurement? Did you have to raise the saddle by much? How much approx?

Thanks

Hi there,

Having sidelined my interest in the Wisper 905se (The singular frame size is just too small for me I think), I'm having a re-look at the pro-connect.

I'm around 6'4" - 6'5" tall with an inside leg measurement of 34", I'm wondering whether I'd be looking at the 57cm, or the 61cm frame?

Cheers.

I'd say 57 cm Rustic.

Your inside leg 34"
-------------------------------
170 mm crank: 6.7"

saddle and stemhead: circa 5" (possibly a bit less)

57 cm frame: 22.4"

total: 34.1"
-------------------------------

The 61 cm would be difficult for you to stretch to, but you can always adjust the odd inch up on the 57 cm.

I'm about 6'3" ish and my inside leg measurement is similar to yours. I have the 57cm frame and have the saddle raised a little so that I can just touch the ground with the balls of my feet when I'm sitting on the bike. I think the 57cm frame would be fine but you'd probably find the 61cm frame fine too, as the 57cm was too small for me with the saddle at its lowest setting (my leg was too bent when the pedal was at its lowest point).
