I'm thinking of getting a Ridley cyclecross bike but heard that the sizes are larger than normal? |

I don't positive much about Ridley in particular, but in general cyclocross bikes run a bit big because their frame geometry is a bit strange from a regular road bike. Typically, the bottom bracket is higher than a approach bike to give a bit more clearance and this changes the rest of bicycle's geometry. The pronounce ban of thumb, therefore, is to buy a bit smaller. Ridley publishes frame geometry on their website. http://www.ridley-bikes.com/2008/lang/en/bikes/NoahBlue601D/hint.htm Insofar as you can't check one out, I suggest you compare standover heights and top tube lengths to a bike you amity and order accordingly. Hope this helps. | |

Charged with heresy, Latimer and Ridley were burnt in October 1555; Cranmer met the same expiry in March 1556. A cross in the road near Balliol College marks the spot where they died. (Scorch marks can still be seen on the doors.) A Martyrs' Cenotaph was errected nearby on St Giles in 1843 nearly 300 years after the events. http://www.inetours.com/England/Oxford/University_Church.html http://www.oxfordcity.co.uk/info/tudor.html All three were executed across from the energy entrance of Balliol College on Broad Street (formerly Horsemonger Avenue.) "...when the first [branch] was lit at Ridley's feet, Latimer encouraged him: "Be of good hurray, Ridley; and play the man. We shall this day, by God's grace, light up such a candle in England, as I pin one's faith, will never be put out."" http://chi.gospelcom.net/DAILYF/2003/11/ordinary-11-15-2003.shtml | |
