I'm after a cheap road bike and i've been looking at a raleigh 300 2009 model, evans have them in a 58cm size.
I'm 5ft 10 with a 31 inside leg by the way.
I understand they have a slighty different way of sizing. I will try and find a shop with one to try,but thought i would ask on here first.
thanks.

That will be too big, you probably want a 54 or 56 but you need to try them out.

This! I'm 5'9 and ride a 56 but it's slightly on the larger side for someone of my height! 58 will definitely be too big!
