Hi Infidels,

Asking my question here because I noticed Scrod you have a 722ts.

My LBS has recommended a 61cm Leader 722ts Heritage.

I've done the sizing calculator and it's saying the "French" fit recommends about a 61cm, and the "Eddie" fit about a 59cm.

I'm 6'2" and about 175lbs.

Are there any benefits to going for the smaller 59cm frame (aside from weight) even though my sizing results are showing I'm closer to a 61cm? Detriments (back pain etc)?

I'm coming from a bmx background so a smaller frame seems a bit more intuitive to me in terms of maneuverability and control. Maybe I'm wrong about that and I should stick to the larger frame when it comes to FGSS. I will use this for city commuting and fun rides, with the occasional long-range trips.

I know you can't really recommend a frame size for me over the net, this is more of a general question on whether someone should go up or down a frame size when they are sized close to each and the considerations for each.

Thanks.
