Surly Cross-Check Frame & Fork: price check, please

[wackyjacky1]

Yeah, I guess I need to do a little more homework and check out the rest of the frame geometry. That s.o. height caught my attention and I didn't really look at the rest.

My inseam is very close to yours and I rode the 46cm LHT - a touch small but it worked for me because of some fit issues. It looks like the Cross-Check has a taller standover than the LHT - the 46cm would likely work for you, depending on your other needs.

My Gunnar (full one-off custom) is a 48cm...but I would ride a 51cm if it were determined only by my inseam.

Keep in mind Surly LHT's are meant to be ridden on a larger size as it is a touring bike, not a race bike. A cross check of course, is slightly different however we size people for a Cross Check the same as we do for an LHT, either way the 42 cm is going to be to small for you. I am 5'5" my PBH is 80cm and I fit a 54 cm LHT (I can do a 52 cm but not a 42cm) To read more about sizing here is the bike hermit's post on measuring your PBH

Ah, well, it's a moot point, I suppose, since the seller never responded to my inquiry. The hunt for a bargain Surly continues!

Thanks for the advice, though!!!
