You have to take in overall geometry. Perhaps the next smaller frame would be too short in the top tube.

Ha, yeah, it's a 24 inch frame, so a bit of a gate, and the 175mm crankset doesn't help. It fits very well though, my favourite bike to ride; oddly enough my other preferred bike is a Gitane with a 22 inch frame. I've found I've had to drop the saddle on all my bikes by about half an inch since my accident to compensate for the loss of movement in my ankle.

I don't remember the show's name, but it was a silly outdoors laypeople-failing-at-stunts kind of thing, along the lines of Wipe-Out, I think.
Yep, the West Country. I've got a vague memory of that program but I can't think for the life of me what it was called, or who the presenter was. Let me know if you remember
