Sizing Notes
All frame size recommendations are approximate. A good fit will also depend on the correct choice of stem length, correct bike set-up for the rider and riding style.
Correct frame size choice can vary greatly with riders' torso length. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for a slightly shorter stem. If you think you are borderline between sizes, and you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for the smaller frame size. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, go for the larger frame size to get the extra top tube length.
As the frame sizes increase, so does the length of the head tube. If you are inflexible or perhaps have a history of back problems, consider going for a larger frame size. This will increase the relative height of the handlebars making the position less “extreme”. The larger frame will also have a longer top tube, so you’ll need to compensate for this with a shorter stem.
This is a sportive geometry bike, so it has a slightly shorter top tube than the equivalent sized race geometry bike.

Hi Jeffrey, all of our products are listed including VAT. Certain non-EU countries may not have to pay VAT- contact us for details. Shipping to Malta for this frame would cost about £30.
hello why are the prices without vat? what would be the total sm from shipping to Malta EU>
Cheers Jon, Thats good news. I've had my SL Pro for about 7 months now and i'm very happy with it...But could be tempted by the Nano !! Do you know if any Mags are going to do a review of the Nano ? Be interesting to hear what they gotta say. DB.
Hi Dick. To be blunt yes the Nanolight does have the edge on the SL Pro. Not that there is anything wrong with the SL Pro- it is an incredible frame offering race-ready carbon performance at a really good price. However the Nanolight is the logical progression forwards into a new decade- the result of years of carbon fibre development and a completely no compromise product from start to finish. Faster, lighter and more responsive in the right areas, it is causing quite a stir...
So, are these Nanolights better than the SL Pro ?

Had this frame for a few weeks now and have to say that i am very impressed! Light, stiff and an excellent ride! The frame also looks awsome and catches the eye of anyone passing. Overall handeling is excellent and very responsive. Frame absorbs a lot of road noise / vibration. This frame is certainly worth every penny of £700.
