I know it fits me well and I tried sitting on a 60cm frame and it felt gigantorous...
I take advice well until I know more. I usually try to listen to what others tell me because I am still learning

Whoa there turbo... whether or not the guy giving the advice was a moron or not (I suspect he's not the sharpest tool in the shed) you gotta take it easy before you give yourself a heart attack. Take everything in stride, the fact that he is giving advice should give you an opportunity to take him down a notch. Perhaps a "hey, thanks for the help... but I'm just takin' it easy, doin' my own thing today...". Its a cherity ride, so the guy riding must have good intentions... no need to berate anyone. In fact, when you say you have little patience for people like him... I tend to say I have little patience for folks like you, who the fudge do you think you are? Its like the driver who thinks that it is his job to teach people a lesson, put them in there place-- you are the cycling equivalent. I don't give a rats a$$ that you have been riding since I was sperm swimming in my dad's balls... just because I have been a competetive swimmer who raced on the National Team as an age group swimmer, or a collegiate swimmer now... doesn't give me the right to bash the guy swimming too slow in the fast lane teaching me how to circle swim. Sure, I'm peeved... but for the sake of keeping myself sane-- and not ruining other people's days... I'm not going to get on a high horse and tear into him. Long respose, but thats just my $.02. Happy Riding.

Some of us, myself included, when we reach a certain point in life no longer suffer fools gladly.

Why would you have little patience for me - I was just mindin' my own business trying to ride safely spinning away and then looking for the cookies.
