Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
I am 5'10" male and rode a Trek 2300 63 cm frame for a little while (I got it really, really cheap and it was immaculate). I had the seat almost all the way down and the shortest stem I could get. Yes the frame was too big, but I did ride it. I just had to be careful unclipping and getting off!! My fiancee is also 5'10", but she has much much longer arms than me (by a few inches). Her legs are way, way longer than mine -- her inseam is a full 3" longer than me. Do you think she would be okay on the 63 cm 2300 frame?

Trek measures their frames strangely. They measure to the top of the seat tube, which is two to three centimeters larger than the more usual measurement to the top or middle of the top tube. Someone who is 5'10" would typically have a 31" - 32" inseam and use a 54 - 56 cm frame--maybe a 56 - 58 cm in Trek's weird world.

Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
I'm 6'2". I take a 60cm in a road bike. In a TT frame, I measure by top tube; I take a 56.

I almost started a thread last week to ask how Fauxpas knew he was the only gay in the forum... I decided against it since I thought it would be used by some as a gay bashing opportunity. I thought there might be a humorous angle to it... now I need to see about finding a way to watch the show, I do like British comedies.

Re: List your height (inches) and frame size (cm)
Here are the results, with height in inches and frame size in cm. I was going to graph it, but I couldn't paste the graph in the thread.
If someone said they ride a 52 but it's too small, I put it in as a 54. However, I did not try to correct for sizing differences between manufacturers - e.g., a 54 Lemond is recorded as 54, just like a 54 Trek. Hope this makes this thread a little more useful. If you go through the data and see errors, please correct me! height (in) size (cm)
