A friend of mines wife is buying him a bike as a surprise x-mas present, she wants to know if the boggo standard 540 will be ok.
He's 6'1 so what's the tt length? he's riding a 19.5 atm. and is £197 a good price for the 06 model?
cheers guys.

if the bike feels a little small run a longer reach stem and a layback
to guage the size of a bike by measurements look at the wheelbase and head tube angle
then rear triangle length etc
the price sounds fine
i am sure he will be well chuffed and out in the street outside his house on xmas day doing endos 8)

I thought you'd said he was 61 :o Fair play to the old coot ;D

bob, she could prob shave 15 quid off the price, tt length on em is 20.75, although mine is 21 for some reason, prob some lazy git in tawain couldnt be fecked to cut the tubes down proper...lol
