I Don't have much money so I am looking at the 2006 Felt F90. I found one but its only a 56cm. I am 6'1'' and was wondering if you guys think? Will I fit properly? I mean cant you just raise up the seat? I have always wanted a Felt because currently im riding a 10 year old Ross 10 speed which is getting worse by the second. My rear Derailer is starting to pop every four rotations of pedaling. The bike is just worn out. I have put probably almost 1500 miles on since I had it. I found it like 3 years ago and it was a piece of junk. I fixed the whole thing up, Anyways I got my moneys worth out of that bike. Now its time for a new one. I want the Felt F90 because I am in college and on a tight budget. What I basicly will be using it for is Group Rides and my own daily riding. Tell me what you guys think. Im looking for some tips because I want to get the right bike. Thanks

You will need to test ride a 58 and 60 cm to find the best fit.

My first road bike was an F90, it was a good bike but very harsh...
I'm 5' 11" and ride a 58 Cannondale, I know Felts are measured differently and if I remember correctly, the way they're measured makes them even smaller...
It's impossible to say whether a 56 will fit you, it depends on your proportions, ie, long or short torso/legs/arms etc...
Have you ridden a bigger bike? What size is your old bike?

Gut instinct would be 57-59. A bit smaller if it had compact geometry.
I'm 6'2" and have ridden bikes in size 58 (60 centre to top) to 61 (64 centre to top).
Why not head into a bike shop and ask them to give you quick measure up? Most decent bike shops will do it for you.
