Hi everyone, I am planning to buy a new track frame for competitions, I've been riding a Trek Tr1(Alu) 54cm with a huge Seat tube, I am 182 cm tall with long legs, that's why I use a 56cm road frame with a long seat tube too(58cm will be too long on the top tube). Well, here's the thing, I've fall in love with the Planet X Pro track frameset(and it's price) but I don't know which size buy, a 56(L) or 54 cm(M).... which one do you recommend?
Thanks :)

    What events are you racing? If you're doing pursuiting the choice might be limited to what size you need to stay UCI legal.

    UCI legal? The guy just wants to race a bit. Not win the Worlds for GB.

    If it's any help a mate who's 184cm and rides a 58 Cervelo bought the Medium.

    This is in line with what Planet X suggest: http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FRPXPCTV2/ ... rack-frame

    my word 130 is a short HT, hope you're doing some yoga...

    Well I am not from GB, I'm from Peru(Southamerica), but buying this is also for racing(maybe) at South American Games(ODESUR), so it must be UCI legal :c
