Hey there all,
I've picked up a old Raleigh that I thought would be my size. A 56cm CC but it seems that I've under estimated the sizing. The reason I went for this size is because that's what I use for my "new" bike. What I'd like to know is how the sizing differs from the old types of steel frames compared to the newer compact frames. Also to ride on the current bike I'd just have to extend the seat a bit but I've reached the maximum extension although it is not sticking out that much. Is there a problem using longer seat post's on older frames? I heard that it could stress the frame more?
Thanks
Badger
