Hello, I am thinking of buying this bike for my 6'2" husband. Any recommendations on which frame size would be best? Thank you!!

Go to the manufacturer's website, navigate to the bike model's page, and use the "fit calculator". Here's the link http://www.diamondback.com/bikes-pavement-casual-hybrid-edgewood

It's a tall bike! I'm 5'6" and feel that is on the tall side. Would recommend a smaller bike.

I also was concerning about the height of the bike since I'm 5'2". It's a comfortable ride and I'm thrilled I purchased the Midmoor. Hope your wife enjoys the bike as much as I do!

I am 6'1" and this bike fits me fine. I have had to extend handle bars and seat to almost its fullest positions. The shifting of the gears on this bike could be better. It skips over second gear and I have had to tweak the adjustment screws on the derailer. But, it did not help. Next step is to bring it into a bike shop and see what they can do with it. the bike is a heavy bike, but for being a low cost road bike it was worth the money. I have put over a hundred miles on it and besides the shifting issue, everything else on the bike is good. Hope this helps.

Laura,We have two adult bikes. My wife has a Cannondale and I have a Specialized. We are both, not small humans, and our bikes fit just fine. I have no clue as to the frame size, but I am 6', and weigh almost 250 pounds, my wife is 5'10" and weighs 160 pounds. We ride a lot, but we are both larger people and our bikes fit fine. Hope this helps.

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.

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

Absolutely. I'm 5'10", but an embarrassing 210 pounds. I use it on a fairly low setting. There's plenty of room to raise the seat and extend the bars for your husband. The bike itself is very well built. It's enormously sturdy and provides a smooth ride. It's only drawback is the seat. It's awful. He'll want to go to his local bike shop to get something more comfortable. The only other customization I made was to install an old pair of clipless pedals. Bottom line - go for it! He won't be disappointed.

My wife is 5'4 and it's about right for her. The tires are pretty standard comfort bike width. Narrower than a mountain bike but definitely not a road bike by any stretch. Maybe go to a department store or local bike shop and see what size works for you if you're worried.

It might be a little small. I am 5'3" and I can ride it, easily. That said, I do prefer my larger framed women's bike, as it allows the reach and downhill riding position much easier than it would on this frame. Most women's bikes look like they are men's bikes, have you looked at those, too? (Oh, one note to mention: this bike comes with a really pretty silver flower handlebar wrap that I loved, however it was the first thing my son demanded get changed, lol)

I would recommend the 15" frame. I am 5'2 and it is slightly to big/almost perfect size for me.

Ya I'm 6 foot and it is just a little tall for me. Only problem I had with the bike are the brakes the front brake is crooked so it doesn't line up properly. And the rear brake rubs against the rim no matter how wide you make it I had to make my own adjustments. But I could never get the front brake to work properly.

This frame should be comfortable for your wife, I am 5'3 and find it a bit big for me, if only I was a few inches taller it would be great, I am still able to get on it and ride it.

Karyl, I would recommend the 24" Pomona because even though the seat is fully adjustable for heighth, unless your legs are really long, I believe the 24" would be a better choice . I hope this helpsP.S. The bike is great to ride

It depends on the frame size that you get the bike in. I'm 6'2 and 260 lbs. I got mine from wal_ly worl_d to save on shipping and to ensure a good fit. Ideally, you want at least an inch or two between pant inseam and the top support beam when the bike is straddled to ensure an easy mount and dismount. With no add-ons, bike was excellent except for the seat which I found a bit uncomfortable. I changed the saddle out for an EasySeat 2 which was a 5 minute fix. Now it's comfortable to ride and sails smooth with no problems. Great bike. Especially for the price.
