Doesn't seem excessive. I'm 1.75 m and my bike is 53 cm.

I guess they ride smaller frames these days, personally I ride a 56
and am about the same height

But it really depends how they measure the frame

Of course, and furthermore: it could be sloping frame. Now please let

And the top tube length is more important than the stand over height
anyway.

I'm 1.77m and my bike is 50.5 cm (centre of bottom bracket to
centre of horizontal top tube). Top tube is 54cm centre to centre,
which is
a common length for a 54cm frame.

Superseller went on to sell a lawnmower to a customer who came in to buy
a packet of tampons.

A while ago, it was the other way round, there was a bike shop in
Redwood City
(NOT Chain Reaction) which sold a 56 cm Bianchi to a 1.75 cm friend of
mine, and he ended
up with pretty much no seatpost showing. It was a great deal as it was
the last of the previous
year's models.

Gee, @ 1.75 cm I'd thinkhe'd even have some trouble reaching the pedals.

Actually some of the responses were surprising

Davey really wasn't aware that so many riders were using comparatively
smallish frames these days

Having a gun and not needing it sure beats needing a gun and not

Perhaps there is a special EU warranty on Bianchi's for 1.75cm midgets.

Apparently, the only way I can troll successfully these days is with
tipos.
