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?

It is just right for me at 6'1", so may be a bit small for you. If you know a good bike shop ask them... Sorry I was long responding. We had a death in the family.

I feel for you brother. It's harder to find a bike that fits you at 6ft or taller. You need to focus on how high the seat goes to get a straight leg stroke, and the distance of the seat to the handlebars to fit the length of longer arms. If its too tight, you feel crowded/uncomfortable. This bike also has some fit adjustments too.

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.

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.

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.

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.
1124551
Yes! This bike is too big for you. Get a 52. 56 is also the length of the seat tube which will put you uncomfortably above the top tube too.

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

I purchased this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

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

In my opinion, I would stick with the 58cm if that's what you are comfortable with. But keep in mind that every bike is different. Just because one company sizes a bike at 58cm, another company can make a 56cm and they can feel almost exactly the same. My suggestion is to measure yourself correctly then find a bike that would ideally fit to your measurements.

As you approach and surpass 6 feet tall, you will, typically, need between a 56 and 62 cm frame; but you should be ok with this bike
1124552
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 love the bike but I'm 5'8 and there is not a ton of downward adjustment available. I would call them and see what they say though. If you decide to get one and it fit's you will love it.

That completely depends on how you measure frame size, I know of 5 different ways off of the top of my head. Since this bike has a slanting top tube you will rarely see a frame size on it. However, since I'm the one writing this response I will tell you I measured from bottom bracket to post the way bikes were measured in the old days. 17" would be your magic number. Other numbers: 26" from ground to top tube, 30" from ground to seat at lowest.
