I'm 167cm tall and my BFSO is 75cm, do you think this  "S" frame could be right size for me as I want to fit flat handle bar?

The L version seems to be so much bigger with his massive top tube;

Is there someone who could share his experience?
thanks

Hi, The frames ending in S are designed for drop bars and L is for flat bars, so drops would suit the 511S best although this may be dependent on your body shape and riding style.

Hope this helps,
Neil

Hi Neil,

You are right!  from what I read on Thorn's Brochure, Straight Bars generally need to be used with frames with long top tubes 5 (L)-

I will fit straight bars so this frame might be too short for what I plan to build...

Thanks a lot
