Do I spy another Record Sprint with a 25" frame? :LOL:
Don't say ow't like that Rob ! I made a comment once about a big framed bike and the chump took offence by it and offered to beat me up.
 
I was in Mercians shop on Saturday.They have just built a frame for a chap who is over 7 foot tall. So 25 " looks small next to it i can tell you.
 
Well we'd grow into it ;)

There was not the craze to have the saddle so much higher than the bars as there is today. At one point in history it was fashionable to have both bars and saddle all the way down in the frame....
 
i am also 5'9" and have always ridden a 21.5" road bike since i was 14/15 years old.

i recently got a 25" raleigh competition 531 and i find the extra size no problem at all (except when its really windy, i'd rather be on my lower bike!)

it took me a few days to get used to getting on/off it, but now it doesnt even cross my mind. its probably done me good getting used to stretch over it further!

that is a lovely RRS by the way :)
