Sizing query for small Sherpa
« on: March 25, 2019, 08:24:23 pm »
I'm a titchy 5 foot female.  I'm  interested in the Sherpa, but the 475 effective top tube is a stonking 3cm longer than on my made to measure Roberts.  A second hand 460XL has appeared on eBay, but I cannot find any comparative info - is the frame shorter? Any other thoughts on what might suit me? I'm not interested in a step-through design (and the first person to joke about Toys'R'us may leave the room!)

Edit: have also seen an XTC in size 98 - claimed top tube length 47cm.  This sounds more my thing.  Any thoughts?

Hi, The XL had an Extra Long top tube so probably not what you need. On your Roberts whats the stem length? You could maybe just run a stem 3cm shorter.
