Cannondale flash help needed

d8mok

I'm looking to buy a cannondale flash but need some help with sizing. I'm 5'11 / 6ft and currently ride a 18inch stumpjumper with seat post at its max height. My road bike is a 56cm supersix which fits me well.

What size flash am I suited to? I can't try the bike anywhere local. I like to be able to throw the bike around.

Is a med 18inch ? And large 20inch?

Thanks

Have a look at the top tube lengths - how do they compare?

Hi mate,

I can't seem to find any size guides online for the 2012 26 inch wheeled bikes.

I'm 5"10 and I ride a large flash without any problems.

Good to know. Thanks

I've found a few geo charts. And the medium is actually probably too small as its smaller than my stumpy. The large is 3.8 cm bigger seat tube length , and 2.0 cm longer top tube.

You really need the effective top tube length (that is horizontal distance from headtube top centre to where it intersects the seat tube if extended high engough) actually the only dimension that you need to compare.

Managed to find somewhere local ish that had one in stock to sit on. Ended up as a large as medium was smaller than my old bike. Also managed to get the local shop to match Paul's cycles price so the bike came home with me too. Can't believe how light this thing is. Just need to sell my stumpjumper now and all will be well

Had a quick ride earlier and love the bike already

However I have a question ...

How do I mount my cateye wireless to a lefty ? I googled and saw there was a bracket you can buy but can't find one in uk
