I'm struggling to find anywhere near me that sells Specialized bikes.

I quite fancy this one under the R2W scheme, I'm 5 ft 6 / 7.

What size do I need. Think I may have asked this before hehe

Thanks,
T

Where are you exactly? Harry Halls in Manchester sells Specialized, as does a place in Bury.

You is a girl? Usualy Girls have longer legs/shorter body so girl frams are built different. But my wife's got a mans trek as it fitted ok.

Inside leg (crotch to floor in socks) - 14 or so for a quick what size frame guestimate.

Just about to fill in the form, any last suggestions? And I can just pick gloves and lid off the website too?

please also remember that as well as the seat tube measurement - the top tube measurement can also be just as critical for comfort!

Best see a professional IMHO!
