If QR bikes fit then check out the stack and reach settings and then decide on what other bikes fit you.

Search for 'stack and reach slowtwitch' and you will find the correct site,

This lists all stack and reach setting s for all main dealer bikes. I have a QR CD0.1 with DA from 2011 and its a great bike, bought the frame from Evans and built it myself, they still do the frames now but as others have said there are others that are better and will still fit.

Best thing to do, get a bike fit, this will give you the stack and reach settings you need, you can drift 30cm either side of these fittings due to adjustments and then use the slowtwitch site to find a bike that fits.

Personally I like Wilier, try this

Anyway good luck.

- Along with the other posts here, all of which have been very helpful indeed, this is great.

Thank you all so much.

Arm warmers? 

Someone please explain - I'm visualising "sleeves" that aren't attached to a top.

Thank you all of you.

We're taking an hour at a time to be honest. A GP pal of mine has re-defined the pain meds programme. That's worked.

Pain centred on op area now, with a little sciatic pain. 

Points noted about months to recover and physio.

Again, thank you all.

Still in the hospital - emergency surgery required following complete lower body paralysis and internal organ failure.....all due to a prolapsed disk.

Surgeon is one of those gung ho types - aren't they all? Anyway, I'm not convinced he actually has a full handle on the symptoms. He just likes operating. 

Fingers crossed.

Please would any spinal or nerve experts out there advise me on whether the symptoms of Cauda Equina persist for a period of time AFTER surgery.

My wife had an operation on Wednesday - as an emergency procedure - and has the same degree of pain, loss of movement, function and numbness as before.

Thank you
