    Hi all,

    I'm planning on buying a Surly LHT 700C frameset to start a build and have narrowed the size down to a 58cm or 60cm frame. I'd really like to throw my leg over either size to check the fit. Would any boardsie in or around Dublin have an LHT in 58cm or 60cm so I can check the size? Send me a PM if you can help me out!

    hi, I would hijack this thread as am considering a very same frame for me, yet in 54cm, 56cm or 58cm frame.

    Would any of you boardsie' in or around Dublin/Wicklow have LHT in 54cm, 56cm or 58cm size frame to let me try and see to narrow down which shize would fit me perfectly? Please send me a pm if you can let me try (I don't need ever ride it, just sit and try the height).

    Thanks!

    Phone Hollingsworth Cycles and Cyclebike off Capel Street.
    Both supply Surly. Got mine there. They might have one in store.
    Worth a call.

    I bought a 60cm Disc Trucker a few years ago online (I'm not in Dublin) and chanced my arm with the sizing. I'm not the first person to realise that I should've gone for the 58 instead of the 60; These bikes feel very long compared to any other bike I've every ridden and are noted for their 'longness'.

    My 'fix' was to throw a flatbar on it instead of dropbars.
