Apologies for cross posting, stuck this in road beginners before remembering about this section, anyway...

I ordered a 2006 model 51 cm Dawes Audax from Spa Cycles but they've sold out, which is a pain as it fitted my requirements perfectly and was a great price. Dawes have also discontinued the 51cm size for later Audax models.

I've got a 30"/76cm inside leg (proper inside leg, not trouser inseam) and am 5'8"/173cm tall and the next size up is a 54cm (with a 55.5cm top tube), which I think will be just too big, but I can't find one to try for love nor money around Glasgow so anyone on here got a Dawes Audax that could advise please?

Many thanks
