big boys bike advice.
Danno:
Triton were the Fairdale distributor in the UK so I'm guessing they are cutting their losses and clearing everything out.
medusa.cascade:
Thanks for the offer danno, but I'm down south permanently now.
I'm 5' 8" would I get away with a large?
jonathan:
your height would put you squarely in "medium" territoryif you are putting drop bars on it. large if you are putting some sort of flat bar on it.

The pic I posted of mine, which is a Large, the center of bb to top of seat post clamp is 23.75". And with seat height where you see it there, it is 29 1/2" from the center of bb to the top of the seat. I was reading some road bike fit articles with online calculators and apparently I'm running the seat lower than I'm supposed to for my height (6'1") and leg length. So, I'm thinking at 5'8" you could ride a Large.
Admiral Ackbar:
riding a bike that is too big, particularly too long in the tt really sucks. bike fit is a really shitty place to compromise.
im 5'10 and i wouldn't touch one of those large weekenders with a barge pole, even with my long torso and love of reach id be stretched the fuck out. but its hard to compare fit based on height when they're are factors like leg/arm/torso length proportion shit.
