Kinesis RC2 - Opinions and sizing?
Any thoughts on the RC2? I'm looking to upgrade my old steel road bike and I really like the look of this. I can't figure out the sizing though. I'm 5ft 9 with an 85cm inseam and currently ride a traditional 55 (st and tt) which is a little big. So I'm leaning towards the 45 with it's 54 virtual top tube, but am a little worried there might be too much drop. Seems a bit odd to be going for their smallest size at my height? :?
What do you think? Anyone here ride one? How do you find it? What are your dimensions and what size do you ride?
Cheers

Contact them via their website, giving your 'dimensions'. I'm sure they will get back to shortly after with a recommendation to consider.
They did that for me and the RC2 is fine - but then again, I have shorter legs and know I am limited to the smaller frames so not many issues to consider.0 -
Cheers. I had already emailed them actually so hopefuly they will get back to me (it was a rather rambling email though :oops: )
How do you find the RC2?0 -
The RC2 is good....I think it is better than my old steel Allez so I'm very happy with it. I haven't tried many other bikes so it so its difficult to give comparisons.
One bit of advice I got from others on this site for sizing the frame - if your happy with your existing frame, as a good starting point, is is to go by the top tube length and select the new frame with the nearest top tube length to the old one and then look at fitting the other components to suit your particular sizing from there.0
