I'm not too sure, what sort of bars are u thinking of having? if you have risers, you can get a way with a slightly higher seat-tube. It also depends on how steep the downwards slope is. I rode one recently with a relatively slight, but noticeable sloping downtube, it had risers and it was very comfortable. It was, however about a 54-55cm and I take 57cm seat 55 top. So maybe that helps you out.

I really want to get one! Let me know where u source on from. There are a few in Brick Lane Bikes..... been there for a while. The one I mentioned sold very quickly! It was a no-named frame sprayed and decalled as Bianchi!

I *think* you want the seattube to be pretty much the same as you would ride on your usual frame [your legs don't get longer just because you're on a pursuit frame :) ]. Next you want to make sure the top tube is roughly the same length as your usual ride - maybe a bit shorter???. Then the head tube height depends on how aggressive the slope of the frame is.

After saying that i think you're best off trying any frame before you buy

I ride one which is roughly your size, you're welcome to try it for size

ha, no chance, not for sale.

The Dolan's actually a bit wierd 'cause, as you know, it has an extended seat tube rather than sloping top tube - made it doubly difficult to work out the size.

My normal ride is the khs and would probably fit you a beut - you should try it for a spin...

There is a pretty mad lo-pro frame at Brick Lane, just got it on the website. It's one Jan just brought back from Italy.
