    Best Size Frame for Height? My size sold out.

    Update: I didn't even think about changing the color! They still have some XL red in stock. I much prefer the subtle black as it looks more low-profile, more like a regular bike. I'll just be sure to get a real heavy duty lock.

    The medium is recommended for up to 5'9 so I'm guessing you are at least 6'; but the medium works fine for you after raising the seapost?

    Marathon Plus Tires - Opinions

    I am about to pull the trigger on a CCS but would greatly appreciate any and all opinions on this tire upgrade. I have heard some say it feels wobbly and makes for an unnerving ride. I definitely don't want an uneasy, wobbly ride at 28mph... but I have a 10 mile daily commute along the side...
