i saw someone with same frame on critical mass t'other day, took pix and i thought it was this babe but actually wasn't :(

i am 5'9" and ride a 53. feels lubberly.

!Nhattattack! · 12th November 2009

5'10, ride a 53. But my arms are so short they are actually inverted.

!Nhattattack! · 12th November 2009

TBH, it depends on the person, but I would say a bloke my size is going to need a 56 cm, someone 6'0 a 58, and 6'5" something over 60 cm.
But this is a rough guide, depending on the bike and the person.

6' riding a 56cm here.

5'11" and ride 53". It's small, but manageable and responsive.

raleigh team replica by the looks of it. Most raleighs are dead common and not that great, but I think this was one of their nicer quality road bikes. Would be a lovely bike if it was left as stock, shame it got killed.

5'8" and riding a 56cm, but admittedly its is too long for me really. 54 would prob be perfect.

I have long monkey arms like a shaved wookie and little stumpy legs like a shaved ewok. i still haven't decided what frame size i should be on yet. Not a long long-ish top-tubed 54 it turns out. Well, not comfortably anyway. *slips forward on saddle and rubs sore hands.

6'2", 36" inseam, 60/61cm frames.

Oliver Schick · 12th November 2009

I used to be 6' but since sorting my back out through yoga I've 'grown' two inches. :)

Fixed that for you.

I am definitely taller as a result of yoga and pilates. By improving core strength you have a straighter spine and better posture.

Have you got a short torso?

I´ve got a long torso, I´m 6´2" and I cannot ride anything bigger than 57cm, standover height always a bitch.
