I'm 6'3" with pretty long legs & have 180mm on mtb, 175mm on tourer, 165mm on fixed gear. They're all fine to ride, but I think 180 is the most "comfy" for me. When I switch from mtb to fix I can feel my legs moving in tiny circles, maybe it is more aero but it feels like I'm not using the...

Bob Jackson is also back up & running, although not the same premises (or people, maybe...,)

Dave Yates has retired - he was selling off equipment a while back.

Good items, good comms, delivered extremely promptly.
