Sounds like you've got relatively long legs and a short torso, roughly the same size and proportions as me and Eddy Merckx (seriously). My local Trek dealer and I both agree that the top tube on a 60 cm Trek is too long. You could get the 60 and swap for a shorter stem, but you'd still be on a bike that's too long for your torso. For a Trek, the 58 is probably your best bet.teamgomez said:I've always felt that my current 58cm roadbike might be a tad small...looking at a 58cm trek frameset and wonder how many 6' / 34" inseam guys (gals?) ride a 58cm frameset.

Check your seat post extension and drop from seat-to-bars. If you've got the seat post way up to get your proper leg extension, resulting in more drop to the handlebars than you like even with your stem shimmed up to the limit, then your frame could be too small. Otherwise, I'd guess it was OK.teamgomez said:I've always felt that my current 58cm roadbike might be a tad small...looking at a 58cm trek frameset and wonder how many 6' / 34" inseam guys (gals?) ride a 58cm frameset.

Given that no one here can see you on the bike,anything you get from this 'internet fit mob' is just guess or BS. BFWIW, my Trek is a 58 and I'm 6' with a longer bike inseam. YMMV. Be aware that trek measures to the top of an extended seattube,and on their traditional frames some have trouble getting the bars high enough.teamgomez said:I've always felt that my current 58cm roadbike might be a tad small...looking at a 58cm trek frameset and wonder how many 6' / 34" inseam guys (gals?) ride a 58cm frameset.

Depending on what you mean by 'a few' (ie, a couple) I would probably agree with that.teamgomez said:I would think that a few cm on frameset could easily be adjusted out with saddle/stem adjustments. Comments? Thanks!
