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 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 have a 5yr old son who is 44" tall and 55lbs, will this bike be too big, I feel most of the 16" bikes are too small.

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.

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.

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)

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

You're riding on street right? I would assume since you're looking for a road bike. I owned one for awhile. When I first got it, the rim was bent, contacted amazon, the shipped a new bike out and told me to take what I needed and ship it back. If you're tall, it may be a little to small. I'm 5ft 11 and it was fine for me. The only issue is the pedals are kinda low, so if you take a sharp turn and your foot is extended all the way your pedal will hit the asphalt. If I were you, I would save up extra $$ and get a better bike. It's a decent bike but you spend a few hundred more and get a lot better bike.

58CM bike is closer to 30 than it is 25 for sure. If you remove the chain guard, kickstand, and replace certain parts you could probably have it down to 21-23 fairly easily. Does anyone know what it weighs frame alone?
2101803
It is a pretty large frame. I am 5'8" and its ok, but I think 5'4" could be awkward. Still, its a great bike and a great price.

I am 6'3" and my wife is 5'9" and we both have the 20". Her seat is about two inches above the frame. I would guess 5'7" is the cut-off, and anyone shorter should probably go for the 18" bike. Since the frame angles down, there is no problem for any height standing over the bike. I hope this helps.

I think there is probably no issue with someone this size, I believe everything is adjustable. We bought one for my fatherinlaw. It was a good straight forward bike. He liked and so did we.

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.

I'm female, 5'6 and about 150. I got the larger size and it is LARGE. It might be a little too much bike for you.I would recommend the smaller size. The large has a 19" frame and the smaller has a 17" frame. I do love this bike.
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.

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
