Is the Smaller frame size that can be requested still available? and does this bike accommodate an ibert seat?

This model only has one frame size which is rather large. It should have no problem accommodating an ibert seat.

There are height variations available for the seat and desk top so I'm pretty certain that you could find an adjusment that is comfortable. We have had 3 six-foot individuals try the bike with my settings and they were pretty comfortable without any modifications.

The bike comes in multiple frame sizes. Ask the seller what size the frame is on the bike being sold.

Not to my knowledge.....different models may be different sizes but this particular bike only comes in the one size. The whole idea is that it is compact....however, the handle bars and seat accommodate almost every size. This is a great bike. It is built solid and rides like a dream.....it is geared so well that you forget you're on a folding bike with smaller than usual tires. I took mine to the local bicycle shop for the minor assembly that was needed but if you're handy and knowledgeable about bikes there's no reason you couldn't do it yourself. Bottom line: I love my bike! It performs as well as the top of the line Trek it replaced and I've not had one moment of regret!

While the quality of the bike is excellent, I am disappointed since I cannot ride it! It is described as being for people as short as 4' 7", but at 5' it is still too tall for me! Maybe your wife's extra two inches will make it usable for her. It cost me an additional $50 to have it assembled. I would be happy to sell my unused bike to you . . . it's in excellent condition!

NO - the frame size is NOT 18". It's a 55cm frame size or about 22". The tires are 700 X 25C. Same exact specs as a Schwinn Prelude which can be found on the Schwinn website. Schwinnbikes.com

I'm not 100% certain but I am 5'1 and it fits me, so it is a smaller bike frame.

Another question...anyone out there really small in stature and finds the bike comfortable? I am 102' and just over 5' tall. live in an area where there are no large sports shop to try things on, so to speak. thanks,arlene

Bike frames are measured from the top of the seat tube to the crank. You can make any bike "fit" by adjusting the seat post, but I think an 18" frame is a bit small for a six-footer.

yes, but buy another one if you can. the bike itself is great, but the seat has caused me much grief; it is too wide and i have had to saw it down on 2 occasions because it was rubbing against my child's legs and chafing his skin. also, i had to add extra cushioning because the seat is wooden. there are other models almost identical that have a better designed seat.

Yes, You Can. but just want to let you know. The frame is not as they use to be. It is smaller.

If you contact Paradigm they offer another seat for this bike that is smaller - not sure if better This one is large and comfortable if you plan on biking for any length of time.

Its a decent bike, but its big I am 5-11. I had the bike over a year with no problems. Only thing I changed was the seat since it was not comfortable for long periods of ride. Also changed the tires to road ones for a smoother ride on the street since I live in nyc

This bike may be too small. At 5.2 you would want a bike that you can stand over the rail. I suggest you visit a bike store and get fitted for a bike. My two grandsons have this bike and it is a good entry level bike. You can adjust the seat and handle bars to work. But I do think it might be too small.

I fully agree with this statement. I purchased this bike for the frame, fork, seat post, stem. I have had to upgrade the crankset, handlebars, seats, tires, tubes, peddles. They are not of quality. I now have to upgrade the bottom bracket as the bearings just shattered.

Any child that can fit on it can use it. The frame is quite small. The directions that come with the bike are not relevant to the actual product.
