I'm looking to buy a secondhand Whyte full sus, either a 46 or an E 120 if the wallet will stretch that far, can anyone give me some advice on what size frame I'd need as I may not get a chance to sit on it if I get it off the net. I'm 5'8" with a 33" inside leg. Medium or small is my current quandry.

Hope someone can help.

Oh, if you've got one for sale as well let me know.

Cheers

    £2000 plus and your not gonna sit on it first :shock:
  • I know, having written it I realised just what I was proposing, anyway managed to find one for sale locally (46) and bought it last night. Worth mentioning that I plumped for a medium having looked at goemetry figures on-line I found that the small and medium have same standover height, just a little longer top tube on the medium. If you want one and you've got a shorter inside leg that 32" it might just be too big (even the small), if in doubt make sure you sit on one!!!!!
