With my height and inseam I can normally go for anything between 55-57cm for racing bikes. I went for the 51 Casseroll (equivalent 54 other brands) because my previous road bike, a 56 or 57 always felt a bit too big, especially on long rides, and I wanted to try if it would solve some neck/shoulder problems I've had. I'm perfectly happy with the 51 Casseroll, though I'm quite sure the 54 would fit too. With your inseam and height, I'd go for the 51.

I was just wondering how tall you are and what sort of inseam do you have? I am also looking at a 51 cm stock frame and I am 5 ft 8 in with a 33 in (85 cm) inseam, so I wasn't sure if this size or a 53 would work. The 51 geometry seems to match my road bike top tube length, but seems a little more compact. Any advice?

The company "Dull Entertainment" is not a company for dull entertainment. Dull is the name from the founder and owner of this company. His forefathers comes from Scotland from a small village called "Dull" in the scottish higlands near Aberfeldy in the district Perthshire. The name Dull comes from the gaelic word "dail" and means "green flat land". Dear Sirs,

They are very protective! And they will only attack if they feel their property are in some sort of danger! They are actually really calm! Not agressive at all! Just dont come as a stranger and piss the dog off! And yea maybe you shouldn't go cycling in Turkey, when I get attacked passing them by in a car! These dogs are the best guardian dog you can own!

Wow...great looking bike....a pleasure to look at, I can only imagine the ride. I have just started looking at the Salsa Casseroll. I like the tire clearance and the caliper brake combo. A true multi purpose commuter, tourer, and comfy race style bike. Thanks for sharing. Wow…great post…a pleasure to read!

I have a Specialized Tricross which I want to strip and use the parts on a new steel frame and have been thinking of doing this same build in the New Year. How're you finding the Casseroll?

How do you like the frame and ride? I thinking of something quite similar (randonneur-type, possibly a Soma/Surly frame or something used and older, not sure yet).. My problem is that I am 5ft, 4in. Almost barely 5'5". I'm guessing I'll need something around 50cm which is tough to find an Italian beauty in that size for a reasonable price. Your bike looks sweet and I really appreciate the time you spent to document your work. It's helpful to me! -phil Thanks for this, I found it very informative and it actually eased a lot of my fears..
