Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
6'2" on an '05, 60cm Trek 2100
One LBS tried to put me on a 58cm. I went to three LBS and the third one told me that I need a 60cm and all they had was a 58cm. They special ordered it for me. The frame size is perfect. I have arms like a T-Rex (really short) and the standard stem worked fine. The stem could have been 1cm shorter; however, I just rolled the handlebars up about 1 cm. |

Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)

Cannondale makes frames up to 66cm, they don't actually make full bikes above 63cm though. So you have to order the frame (my lbs for some reason had a 66cm in stock) and all the parts and have it put together. This turns out to be a fair bit cheaper than having a frame custom built though. regarding the Orbea, is that for any size? They'll build a custom sized frame for you for only an extra $80? That's impressive.

As i understand it, you order a bike as normal and the Orbea dealer takes your measurements and faxes to the factory in Spain, where the frame will be tailored to suit. I don't know how it works for where you are and if the $80 is accurate (i used a quick currency converter on £50). Sounds to good to be true, there's got to be a catch somewhere! |

Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
5'10" 88cm inseam = 61cm Rivendell road bike
The frame geometry is more relaxed so what most would view as a too-large frame actually fits me perfectly and is amazingly comfortable (but it's not a "racing" bike). There is no univeral height-to-framesize equation since all bikes are different. |

Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
5'8 1/2
roughly 52cm Top tube custom length because I have short legs and longer torso. When I sit down, I am usually as tall (sitting) as someone roughly 6' Long torso and short legs = custom frame... but if I had to pick a stock frame, 52cm would be about as close as I could get to a good fit. |

Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
Guys, I don't wanna be a smarta$$, but just giving a cm# without saying c-c, c-t, c-t of extended seat, or at least the brand of the frame does not mean much! There is a 4cm difference between a Trek 52cm and a Lemond 52 cm!!
Don't forget that also top tube is important. |
