I'm looking for information on sizing on the De Rosa bike range? As we all know sizing Can differ on different brand bikes and can be bit of a ball ache when buying online. I'm looking for a rough estimate on what size De Rosa to buy for myself. I am 6ft tall and quite lean. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Look at the geometry charts (particularly stack/reach but don't ignore the other measurements) and compare to your existing bike. Your height alone is not the only consideration, and do you prefer a more or less aggressive position?

    They come up big. You definitely need to Check the geometry rather than just the frame size. I'm 5'9 with a 32 inside leg. Usually a 54 but in de rosa sizes I'm a 52 and that's still a long stretch to the bars on the idol and the SK.
