Hello,
I would please like advice on frame sizing. A few years ago I visited a frame builder in England who told me that I would never be able to find an off the peg frame that would fit me correctly and after measuring me suggested a 53 s.t. and a 56 t.t. I am 5 foot 9 with a long torso and short inseam. At the moment I am living somewhere with no frame builders in sight and I am about to buy a bike. I really need some advice, can I get away with an off the peg frame? should I get a 56 inch frame so that I would have the correct top tube length or a 54 inch with the right seat tube height?
Thanks, Elad
