According to charts I should have a 56 inch frame . This bike is not offered in that size. Anyone know if I should go up-down or not at all? I'm 5.11

I typically ride a 62, but this bike maxed at 58 if I remember. Riding a smallerish frame has worked out just fine so far. However given the option if rather ride a bike a little bigger for me than small.

Cheryl,I think you should go up. I'm 5'6" and I have the smallest frame available. Good luck in your choice!

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

I would go up. I am 5'5" and I have the 54 cm. It is a little tall, but it works well for me. For someone 5'11", I know it would be a little small. I would get the 58.

That depends on if you like to sit higher or lower and how much lean you can handle into the bars. Either way you will have to adjust the seat height to find the right comfort level. From there you need to determine if you prefer riding with your chest down or up (bigger frame if down, smaller if up).Ultimately you want a bike that fits you so you don't have to adjust to it. You're increasing your risk of muscle strain and injury by not finding a perfect fit. I suggest shopping around till you find one. Just think, would you marry the first man who proposed just because you wanted to get married or would you make absolutely certain that he was Mr. Right?

I just bought this bike without looking for frame size. Really don't know If they have other size Mine is Large when compared to others I guess you should ask for a specific frame size before buying it Mine is a very good road bike

I'm 5'6". The small 16" frame fits me almost perfectly. If you can it would be wise to go to a bike shop and sit on a few frames.

the first size (16, 18, 20) is the size of the frame. At 173 cm height you would want the 16", that is the correct size for you. As to whether or not you can ride it ... well I can't answer that for you :P

This bike comes only in size 56cm. It is a good size for most people between 5'10"-6'2", so it is most likely going to be too big for you. I'm 6'0", and it's perfect. The 56cm is the length of the bar from the seat to the handlebars, so if you really want this bike, you might be able to get by with lowering the seat. You'd be stretching a little farther than ideal to hold the handlebars though.

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.

Even though I am male and 6 foot 2, I have a few 26inch bicycles and all you have to do is adjust the seat post up. You can always get different handlebars for comfort, but this bike is fine as it is. Just to give you a different reference, my wife and also her daughter who are both at the lower end of the 5 foot range have used this bike. I had to lower the seat all the way down where the seat springs straddle the bike rack and it works for them just fine.

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.

Hi,It really has to do with your body size and what you are comfortable straddling. Per the Montague website - - Bike Sizing: 18in Frame: 5'3" - 5'10" Standover height 30" 20in Frame: 5'11" - 6'4" Standover height 31"======I am 5'7" with short legs and the 18 inch one works fine for me.The "stand-over height" of 30 and 31 inches, respectively can be a good clue.Measure the height from the floor to the top of the cross-bar on a mountain bike you feel comfortable riding (or straddling at a bike shop, if you have none). See if that offers any answers. Hi,It really has to do with your body size and what you are comfortable straddling.

This is a tough question, because it really depends on you? At 6'3 you should be riding a bike that is 62 cm's and this bike is 50.8 cm. (20 inch is a Lg.) A little small? but I think with the seat post adjusted correctly you should be pretty comfortable. The tires are huge :-) and the bike should not have a problem with weight up to 300? the bike is pretty rugged, if you just want to ride down the street, or on an easy trail, But if your looking to do extreme off-roading? This bike will not handle what your looking for very long.

Im 5'7 and this bike is still a tad bit big for me....I had to put the seat all the way down and removed the bike reflector so it would go down even further. So I think this might be a tad bit big for you. I hope this helps.

The frame measured from the bottom of the crank tube to the top of where the seat post enters is 18". Remember the added 3" of the tires make it equivalent to a 21" bike. I would think that for anyone under 5'11" this bike would be too big.

Hey Hattie, I am almos 6.2 and this bike fits great. Yes I could of go for a little big bigger frame but if you are not one of those that need a custum made bike for thousands of dollars, I higly recomend it. I used it pretty nuch every day to ride with my dog.

I just bought the bike I am 6.1 and my wife 5.5 and the bike is too small...not a good choice on the size.
1054533
I'm 5'4 and 18inch is just perfect for me. My best guess would be for you to try both size at a local store. Or you can check online for size charts : it will tell you the recommended bicycle frame height according to your height. Under 5'4 = they recommend 18 inches

Slightly complicated question. I'm 6 foot. The seat post is way to short for the frame. The bike rides a bit akward because of this. If you are a male of 5'10" or more you'll wanna replace the seat post, as I did, and bring the seat up so that you can get your legs into the proper pedal position.... Though.... At this point you will find you are up in the air a ways. I got used to this easy and appreciated the advantages of 29" wheels. However.... If you are on the short side you will be breaking new ground and I can't help much there. I have got some comments on just how big the bike is... But then again... All 29ers are. If you are going to put serious miles on this bike try to order a spare bushing for the rear swingarm. And the stock tires wear out REALLY fast. &lt;-easily fixed That being said I've customized out one of these with more money than the purchase cost and I have no regrets.
