PLEASE TELL ME WHICH SIZE YOU WANT WHEN YOU PAY. {you can include in paypal notes or send an email to me at chicabike@aol.com}   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Advantage of compact geometry: most top brands today make many of their models with compact frame design. This not only makes the sizing easier but also improves comfort. Compact frames have taller headtubes which gives a slightly more upright position. Frame sizes in centimeters are a little different from traditional frames:   X-Small 44c is about 48-50 traditional   Small 46c is about 51-53 traditional   Medium 50c is about 54-57 traditional   Med/Lar 54c is about 58-60 traditional   Lar/X-Lar 58c is about 61-63 traditional BUT DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE cm NUMBERS; GO BY YOUR HEIGHT - THAT IS PART OF THE BEAUTY OF COMPACT DESIGN. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   X-SMALL  fits riders 4'11" to 5'3"  SMALL  fits riders 5'4" to 5'6" MEDIUM  fits riders 5'7"to 5'9" MEDIUM/LARGE  fits riders 5'10" to 6' LARGE/X-LARGE  fits riders 6'1" to 6'3"  The New Dawes Sizing System is so simple that some buyers get confused. Just look up your size in the chart above by height. Order that size and IT WILL FIT YOU.  My price is only $595 plus $39 shipping & insurance and you pay no sales tax. WHAT A DEAL on a super quality sprint tri road bike. THIS BIKE IS A GREAT TRI BIKE FOR BEGINNERS OR MORE EXPERIENCED ROAD/TRI RIDERS.   Decal color on this bike is RED -- I have found it may look orange or even pink on some screens. This is either due to my camera or the assorted screens pictures are viewed on - but this trim is Red.   Please check my feedback - I am very quick to ship and like making customers happy. Buyer pays the $39 shipping, insurance, and handling [HI and AK please ask for quote]; ; and must pay with PAYPAL.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who makes most bikes sold in bike shops? click here for answer How hard is it to setup your new bike? click here for answer How much does this bike weigh? click here for answer Why do I think buying a used bike is too risky? click here for answer Why are the prices so low? click here for answer On Jan-07-08 at 10:01:52 PST, seller added the following information: I DO have 58c bikes now.
