Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That's the sad thing. Seriously though, dude, send me a PM and maybe we can work something out.

It's great, man. I like riding it, but the fit is still bothering me a little.

Yeah, I certainly hope so. Not really used to a lot of saddle to bar drop, but it should be fine.

My ass really hurts though, maybe it's from me not riding for so long.

58.

i'm just under 6'1" w/ a 33" inseam and if i put a yardstick in my armpit with my arm at my side, my middle finger is at 26".

my 725 is a 56 and feels just a bit cramped.

now my personal preference is to err on the large side and adjust saddle/stem if need be....

damn weird proportion bodies! im 5' 10" with a ~30" inseam and if i do the armpit-yardstick im at 25.5"

my current bike is a 55 and i could probably get another inch or 2 under my crotch, but its definitely cramped and i feel it in my back after a while of riding..

i wanna pull the trigger on this thing but 58 just sounds gigantic to me

For what it's worth, a 58cm 722TS measures 56cm c-c with a 57cm top tube. Here's the chart:


(All listed seat tube measurements on the chart are c-t but are typically 2cm less measured c-c)

If it helps any, I'm 5'10" with a 33ish inseam and long arms. My 58cm 722TS fits me very nicely with a 90mm stem.

I can agree with this color much better (azure?).
