Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - What size bike / how tall are you

What size bike / how tall are you ?

6' 2" and just orderd a 59 pista concept. my rush hour is a 57 cm.

6' 1" 56cm

height is only a smaller factor in frame sizing.

I agree that height isn't that important in & of itself.

I'm 5'10.5" I ride 54-56cm, depending on top tube length. I have long legs, which should require a larger frame, but my upper body is short, so I end up with a shorter stem and a lot of seatpost showing. Someday I'll get a custom frame...

6' 0" 54cm bareknuckle, fits like a glove.

5'5" - 49cm Fuji Track

6'1"- 62 cm.

6'3" and 63cm c-c

5'11"

550-580mm

dont use the how tall are you and what size is your bike method for sizing a frame unless you are a gambler

5' 9-11" 52 to 55 frame

doofo-What method should I use ?

5' 9-11" 52 to 55 frame
wtf how how do you have a 2inch range of height?

im 5/10. the panasonic is 53.5 and the colnago is 54.

5'8" 52 tt

5 11 with a 56 cm frame.

wtf how how do you have a 2inch range of height?

haha thats what i was wondering

here are a few links about bike fitting/sizing

http://www.cyclemetrics.com/Pages/FitLinks/bike_fit_links.htm

not comprehensive by any means mind you

best bet is to talk to a pro if you can

one that can be trusted and is not just trying to sell you the bike that is in stock

oh i dont remeber my exact height nor do i care to realy find out but its around there..

I feel short coming in at 5'9" and some change. I ride a 55cm soma, but those run slightly small so it fits perfectly.

My Raleigh has a TT of 55.8 but it's a 30" standover,

My custom has an effective TT of 53.5

and my IRO is a 54TT.

And I am 5'6" - I think.

5'2" - 43cm Fuji Track SE. It fits perfectly.

5-11 and a change, long legs, 53 - 58 frames

6'4" and riding 60-63

183cm, 55cm top tube with flats, 54 with drops

183cm (6') - 56, 58, 59, 60, 62, and they all fit. Different frames have different geometry, there is no 'one size' for you.

Exactly....I'm 6'1" and ride a 57, 58, and 62..and there are plenty of frames in the 54-56 range that would fit me too.

5 ft, 49 cm soma rush. i don't think it's too big, but the other short folks around here (even the ones taller than me) seem to ride smaller frames.

Height 5'10"

60cm KHS Flite
55cm Pista
53 cm IRO

I ride with risers or flat bars. I find that if you don't ride drops, you can find a wider range of bikes you feel comfortable on. I certainly would not fit on the KHS if I was riding drops -- it's actually the most comfortable of my 3 bikes.

6' 4" 62cm

6'1" (and tons of fun)
57cm tt Pake

6'6"
62cm Viner track
63cm, Schwinn Paramount P14
63cm, Schwinn Peloton Conversion
64cm Fuji Track

5'11:
57st 56tt (Old Davy)
58*58 (Black Widow)

5'9" and I ride a 56cm Redline 925. I think it's too big for me so I think I'm gonna sell it and pick up a 53-54cm track bike. I want something w/a short wheelbase as my fixie.

5’11” - 57cm Bianchi , 55cm Schwinn

5' 10" 50 cm

5'7" - 49 cm, but it's a bit on the large side.

For all you guys that use 54 or 56 cm frames - you're so freakin lucky! You can buy tons of frames in those sizes, and almost none in 49 or 48.

7'1", 72cm frame.

^serious?

5'6" 49cm

6 foot 4 and 3/4

66cm Bridgestone with a 63cm top tube
65cm Serotta with a 61.5cm top tube
65cm Spicer with a 61.5cm top

long legs, shorter torso.

I stand 6'2", but I have a long torso and short legs.

In order to get the standover height my short legs require, I ride a 59 Pista frame, which has a sloping top tube.
I don't think I could stand over a taller frame more proportioned for my overall height with a level top tube.

To get the length I need, I ride with a 35cm set back seat post.

The set back seat post properly orients my knees to the pedals, but puts me further back over the rear wheel than some folks like.
Personally, I prefer more weight on the rear wheel and a lighter front wheel.

Actually, the rear wheel has 2/3rds of the weight normally. In your case, it's even more, probably close to 80%. How many rear tires to front tires utilization ratio do you have (how many rear tires do you replace in the tame it takes you to replace one front tire)? I assume you ride FG and that you skid - correct my assumption as necessary

6'1", 60cm.

6'1", 60cm.

I didn't know you were that tall. Aren't you about 62-63 Kg as myself?

6'-3"
60cm road

No, I'm not as fat as you are!!! 61-62 kg to be precise:)
Yeah, I'm skinny. Very skinny.
I'm not the only one, though. IIRC good ole' Shants has exactly the same height/weight as me.

I think Shiznaz is even taller.

i'm 5'10 with short legs, 50cm Khs cowhorns, my peugoet is 57 with risers i thought it fit untilli got used the KHS, now the peugoet feels bulky and slow, i am now a huge beliver in you want the smallest bike that you can get away with

4' 11'' and a 43cm bike frame, I have no clearance

My vintage bikes are 49/51ish, and I'm 5ft 7in. I think they may be a little small, but I like the semi relaxed upright positions too. I can go for a stroll around the neighborhood without being stretched out over roadie geometry.
