Is this one for flecc?
Can anybody help re advice regarding frame size for a male, 6' 0", 35" inside leg considering ordering a Kalkhoff Pro Connect .
Thanks in anticipation.

You most likely want the 57cm frame. I'm 6ft 1" with 34" inside leg and it fits me well - I have the saddle raised about 1".

Frame size.

Thanks for that Fecn. Having studied the forums, particularly that re the rear wheel problem and 24 spokes with Telson, I am even more confused!

Only the early Pro Connects had the 24 spoke wheels, they are now 36 spoke like the others in the Kalkhoff range.

Hi Ian, there's a sizing guideline table on the Pro Connect spec page

For anyone buying an Agattu, we usually recommend adding an inch or two to the minimum height if the sprung seatpost is used.

In any case, it's a guideline as we all have different length legs and arms, so there will always be exceptions.

I would agree with the 57cm frame for the ProConnect unless you might want to change to a sprung seatpost at a later date.

If you are trying the bikes at Loughborough, have a go on a 57cm Tasman with the saddle at its lowest, or ask to try a Tasman seatpost/saddle on the ProConnect.

With a sprung seatpost, you might find that a 53cm frame is best for your inside leg.

I agree with this comment.
Ian, when you trid my bike you said you may wish to replace with a sprung seat, so if this is stil the option, go for the 53.
