20.75" or 21" given your height Ed

Like Dan says 20.5" won't feel too long jumping straight off an os bike...  :daumenhoch:

If you make it to one of the Blackpool sesh's mines 20.5" feel free to have a go...  :daumenhoch:

Lenny says 21" like you to keep the wheel base... I'm still thinking shorter and going for the 20.5  :-\

Ed, there's lots of other things to consider but I'd strongly recommend you do some reading into BB heights too.

TT is personal preference much like every other dimension. A mate of mine who's 5'6"ish has always ridden 21" for example. Some lads with back trouble will run shorter TTs and bigger bars.

Lot's to think about. Next session, grab a ride of everyone's bike.
