List your height (inches) and frame size (cm) - Page 4

I subscribe to the notion that you should ride the biggest frame you can handle. For me, that's a 56 cm and I am 5-5 1/2 with a 30" inseam. I have to lean the bike slightly at intersections.

5'9" 29.5 inseam 52cm trek 100mm stem

6'-1", 59cm litespeed. top tube 57.5cm, 12cm stem.

as others have pointed out, look at the geometry of the bike. top tube and other lengths vary with manufacturer.

5' 8"
30.25"
Trek 54cm

5' 6-1/2"

everyone is so tall
i am 4'11 feet tall, and my frame is 34 cm or 13.5 inchs. it is a little big for me but was the closest they had in my size, i dunno what my inseam is and i don't have a tape measure to find out

6'8" on a 63cm Trek. Great height wise, but would prefere a slightly longer top tube

6'0", with a 56cm ctt.

6'2" 60cm. This leaves me with 1.5 inches from crotch to top bar

6'6" with 96cm inseam.
I've got a 66cm cannondale.

I'm interested to hear from the people who've posted with similar inseam and height to me...what (if any) adjustments have you made due to size? I got 180mm cranks. also, 63cm frames, why not larger? too hard (expensive) to find? top tube too long?

I didn't know that you can buy a 66cm bike (well not an 'off-the peg' one anyway) and you certainly can't in the UK, it took months waiting for my 63cm Trek to be delivered!!!! Apart from riding with a lot of seat post on show and three spacers on the stem, i've done nothing to adapt it as it feels good to ride.

I've been told by my local Orbea dealer that they can take your measurements and fax them to the factory to have a frame built to match for an additional £50 ($85 ???) on the cost price of the bike.

I'm 5'7" too and ride a 52. The wise thinking is that the smaller your frame the lower your centre of gravity so you corner better. So I guess that 50/52 doesn't make a lot of difference. You can always a get a longer/shorter stem and seat post to accomodate your arm/leg length.

why not log on to the Flandria site (www.flandriabikes.com) or the Airborne one (www.airbornecycles.com) and measure yourself up as per their instructions? That way you'll know if your riding to small.
