What frame size do you ride

[vickster]

No vickster it was an ebay purchase mate picked it up for me. I thought it too good to miss having been owned by a guy employed by an LBS and had loads of upgrades.

Maybe get the right size frame and transplant all the components across? Probikekit often have deals on Kinesis frames

Just to awkward im 5 foot 7 " 54 ct to ctr with a 90 mm stem or a 56 ctr to ctr with an 80 mm stem with less drop to bars.

 

[jarlrmai]

5'9" ride a 54 cm Specialized.

 

[Gixxerman]

I'm a short arse at 5'7'' so I ride a 52cm roadie and a 17.5 inch MTB / Hybrid.

For the past 20-odd years, I've gone on the Top-Tube length, in order to get a better postion
I still end up with the saddle all the way back on the rails, & a '100mm', or '120mm' stem

5'9", but with fairly long Femurs

- '100' on the work bike
That's due to more clothes in winter, so less flexible - even so, the headtube is an inch shorter/lower than my newest road-bike

- '120' on three of my road-bikes (the CX though, has a 100', for a slightly more upright position - it was bought as a race bike)

 

[HorTs]

I'm 185.4cm/6'1'' and ride a 60cm which in practice I find a tad long. If I buy another bike I'd get a 58cm.

 

[Gravity Aided]

6'2",60 or 62 cm

 

[Goggs]

I'm 6'2" and ride a 58cm Cube hybrid. I also had problems and felt a wee bit over-stretched so I swapped the stem for one which was shorter and had more rise. That helped a bit but then I changed the bars for something with more sweep and now it's pretty much perfect. I think there's a lot that can be done to tune a hybrid type bike as compared to a drop bar road bike though. If I were to do it again I might go for a 56cm frame.

 

[jamma]

I ride a 52cm BH and a 54cm Cervelo but as others have said its all down to the make

 

[Accy cyclist]

I'm 6ft 1in and have two bikes with 58cm frames and one with a 54cm frame.

Does your inside leg measurement not affect your required frame size?

You can put the saddle up or down quite a long way to suit your leg measurement. I find it much more important to go by top tube length because there is much less variation possible with stem length and saddle setback.

 

[Jenkins]

5' 11" (180cm) and ride a variety of sizes - most of them larger than recommended...
Boardman (road), Planet X Pro Carbon & 13 (hybrid) - Large
Kona Jake CX - 59cm
Van Nicholas Ventus - 58cm
Whyte Sussex - 56cm

 

[Aravis]

I'm 5' 11". My seat tube is 55cm; the top tube, measured centre of head tube to centre of seat tube along its length is 56cm. The equivalent horizontal measurement is about 58cm.

Why not try a bike fit?

Normally centre of bottom bracket to centre of top tube, but some manufacturers tweak it.
