My wife is 5' 10" with a 34" inseam. Is she too tall for this bike? Everywhere I look I see that an 18" frame is best for her height.

My wife has the same height and inseam. She is comfortable with the bike after some adjustments of the seat and handle bars. She pedals flat footed and likes some bend at the knee at bottom of stroke.

No, she isn't too tall. I am 5'9" and my wife is 5'8". We own a matching pair of these bikes and there is plenty of room to adjust the seat and handle bars.

Using the guide in the Owner's Manual I calculate the frame size to be approximately 22 inches. This is in the right size range for a person with an inseam not exceeding 34 inches. Longer would require larger frame size. Wheel size for this bike is 26 inches. Manual did not give exact specifications for the bike size.

Hi. I love this bike. My daughter is under 5 feet and has used the bike without issue. I am 5'7" and I just raise the seat and it is perfect for me.

At 5' 2" you will have trouble reaching the ground from the seat wth any bike with 26" wheels. I am 6' and if I adjust the seat to allow for full leg extension when pedaling (the distance between the seat and the pedal at the bottom of its rotation should be 103% of you inseam) I too have trouble reaching the ground. On a bike with a women's frame or a men's frame you shouldn't have trouble standing over the bar when off the seat. If you do the frame size (the length of the tube me from the crankset to the seat) is too large for you. My daughter is 5' 4" and the recent bike we got for her is a 17" frameless and fits her well.

I think this will work fine for you. My wife has the same measurement and she can ride it fine. I love the bike . You cannot beat it for the price. i did take it to the bike shop for a tuning after I bought it. No problems. Very comfortable.I am 5'9" w/ 29" inseam. I have plenty of room.

I'm 5'7". The frame on this bike is approx. a 16" frame, which is perfect for me. It may be a bit too small for you. For your size I would suggest a bike with a larger frame, say a 19" or so. While the handle bars are adjustable, and the seat is adjustable, the frame would seem very small to you I think.

Hello, my wife is 5ft tall and the bike is a little bit big. But I think it will be small to your height.

I Bought a medium frame and I am 5' 10".. It is a pretty big bike, my leg length from inseam is size 32"

Edit: my apologies, it does list the frame size for this bike. It is 18" which, unless you are 6'4" and have an especially short inseam this is going to be a small bike for you (and me, unfortunately). I'm 6'3" with a 34" inch inseam which I believe is pretty much run of the mill - which puts me needing a bike with a frame somewhere between 19" and 20". Though that is talking about optimal comfort which might not be your goal.

My wife uses the bike. She is 5'4" and loves it. But I really don't know for someone shorter than her. However, I do think it might be possible to "block" the pedals for someone shorter.

I am not sure about the inseam, because I am 4"11' tall and a really tiny inseam. I just know I LOVE LOVE this bike and you can burn Massive amounts of Calories in a fairly Short period of time!! If I were you, I would say go ahead and try it!! What's the worst that can happen???

Hello, this bike is great. It is pretty quiet and a good overall bargain for the price. You should have no problem with the size of the bike. My wife is 5'4" and she is happy with it.

I am only 5' tall and I could actually cycle comfortably on 1 setting above the lowest. I did lower it down to lowest setting and feels even better. Overall, it is hard to find a bike that fits a short person so I am extremely happy this one works for me. I just measured my inseam and it is 28" but remember shoes might add another inch or two if your inseam is lower.

I'm 5'5 and my husband had to raise the seat for me. It is a regular size bike if you fit well on one of them than you should be alright with this one.

I would have to say no, I am 5'10" with a 32" inseam and I only just clear the frame while straddling the bike. See more information at http://www.schwinnbikes.com/schwinn-life/finding-the-right-schwinn/bike-sizing

I'm 6'0" 210 and my son is 5'10" 165, we have no issues other than if you do a slow tight turn while pedaling your feet will hit the wheel. Lots of fun, I primarily use it with my Autistic son where I usually do all the pedaling. When I have ridden with my wife, it was a blast. I find that the seat post doesn't go high enough which can be easily fixed by getting a longer seat post. Your wife wont have any problems. It's a sturdy heavier bike meant more for cruising around.

My wife is 5'3", and she is comfortable riding with the seat raised several inches...so I would think it should work well for you. We purchased Schwinn Miramars a year ago, and love them.
