Road Cycling - What size bike do you ride??????

If you are 6'2" or close and have a 32 to 33 inch inseam what size road bike do you ride and what kind is it? If you know the top tube measurement that would help.

I ride a 58cm with a 57.2 TT. Just wondering what other guys ride with the same measurements.


Thanks,

Bill

I am very close to your height and inseam if not exact. I ride a Lemond 59cm frame, and the TT length is 59cm. The Lemond geometry is great due to the longer TT for riders like me.

I'm just under 6'2" and ride a 61 cm. Fuji with a 59 cm. top tube. My inseam for a bike (longer than for trousers) is between 34" and 35". Fuji measures size from center of bb to top of seat tube.

6' on the dot, with an inseam for bike of about 34".

I ride a 58cm c-t seat tube, with a 57cm top tube (Fuji).

6'2" with a 34 inseam and I ride a 58" FUJI.

I am 6 feet 3 inches with a 33 inch inseam. I don't know my pubic bone height but my saddle height is 78 cm. I ride a 60 to 63 cm frame depending on the brand, how the bike is measured, and how much bottom bracket drop. My Nashbar road frame is 60cm center to center because that was the largest size offered (I would have ordered 62 if it were available).

I am about 6-1 and ride a 58.

Hey, a further question for all of you who are my size - - -

What length cranks do you use? I am using 172.5 because that is what came with my (used) litespeed, but feel these are too short. Thinking about 175 or 177.5 - what is all of your vast experience tell you?

:rolleyes:

172.5 is fine. Unless you're Indurain or Boardman and want to time trial pushing a 53x11.

Im 5'6 and i ride a 54cm frame with 700x23 tires

im right under 6ft (dunno inseam) and ride a 23inch bike.... (58.42cm) and it's too big for me...looking at an equivilant of a 56 when I buy my compact geometry Cervelo

Brendon

I'm 6' and ride a 56cm Cannondale

6'2" and I ride a 61cm lemond

I'm 176cm, inseam I can't remember, but long enough to ride a 58 I think. However my torso is short, so I'm riding a 54. HEHE. Very light bike, 2003 Trek 2200.

34" inseam...6'2"

60 cm Cannondale R3000. Top tube is 59.2 cm.

I also have a CAAD4 frame with Ultegra that's a 60. Same geometry.

If you think the '03 2200 is light....look at the '04. Same frame setup as the 2300 with a step down in groupset. ZR9000 frame with carbon seat stays. Totally upgraded.

I'm somewhere between 5' 11" and 6' and my inseam is about 34 in. My Co-Motion is 58cm (C-T) and top tube is 58cm.

One question I've always had was how people with long torsos can comfortably ride a European-style bike with a short top tube. Don't people feel scrunged up?

6' even. 32 inch inseam. ride a 58cm/58cm center to center.
can change geormetry slightly with setback thompson seatpost and/or a longer-shorter stem

I am one of those long-torso-riders. Adding a longer stem (or top tube) doesn't really help me. All that does is throw more weight on my hands. The ONLY way a long torso rider can get balanced on a bicycle is by moving the saddle back. I ride a 72 degree seat tube angle with the saddle shoved as far back as possible.

5'9'' 56cm frame

6'4", 38" BICYCLE INSEAM -

2003 - FUJI TOURING 64 C-T, 58.5 TOP TUBE
2002 - FUJI TRACK 64 C-T, 61 TOP TUBE
1998 - TREK OCLV 62 C-T, 59.2 TOP TUBE
1995 - TREK 830 MB 58 C-T, 23" (58.5) TOP TUBE
? - SEROTTA CSI 65 C-C, 61 TOP TUBE
? - FUJI DEL RAY 64 C-T, 58.5 TOP TUBE
? - SHOGUN 63 C-C, 58 TOP TUBE

? - don't know model year, picked-up used.

All have the same measurement, 32.5", center of bottom bracket to top of seat, and with playing with stem lengths, all are pretty close to the same dimension with the handlebars.

The Serotta is by far my favorite bike. Have not ridden the Fuji Touring yet. Just picked it up on end of year close-out at Harris Cyclery.

6' 3"
35.5" inseam

62 cm OCLV w/ 130mm stem
59.2 cm TT

I'm 5'6".. 76cm inseam...

48cm Custom built Cr-Mo frame + 80mm stem...

but, my effective top tube is equivalent to a 53cm sized bike...

its the beauty of a custom frame... you can play w/ the geometry..

5'8" 30in inseam ride a 53x53 serotta and
a 21inch Trek.
I'm thinking I could move up to a 55cm frame (max)
will check it out at LBS when I purchase next bike.

What kind of Cinelli do you ride. I was looking at an '03 Aliante Carve and wanted some feedback.

Thanks

It's a Starship frame and I have no complaints. It's a really smooth ride so I would ass-ume that the Aliante would be even better with the cf.

Bianchi Vigorelli 57cm. Im 6', 31-32" inseam.

5'10", 31" inseam, ride a 54cm Trek 5200.

I'm 6' with a 32" inseam and I ride a 57cm c-c Klein with a 57cm TT.

5'10" 31 inch stand over. 54cm Felt F65

Just to add my $.02 in here, I'm about 6'2" with a 33" inseam. My bike is a compact frame 56cm Masi with a 58cm top tube. If I were to go to a more normal frame shape, I would be riding a 58cm bike.

Or a 60cm.

Close to 6'2". Inseam 34". Fit Kit tested. Resulted in a custom Serotta 61"x 61". Perfect fit.

If you are 6'2" or close and have a 32 to 33 inch inseam what size road bike do you ride and what kind is it? If you know the top tube measurement that would help.

I'm 6'0" with a 33inch inseam and I ride a 58cm Cannondale.

5'7", 31" inseam and ride a 54 cm Pegoretti

Close to 6'2". Inseam 34". Fit Kit tested. Resulted in a custom Serotta 61"x 61". Perfect fit.

I assume the 61 is mm. I'm curiouis as to your total reach. If your bike has a 61 mm top tube, what length is your stem? I ask because I am probably close to the same height and inseam as you.

im 6 feet and ride a 56cm trek

5 foot 10 and I find 21.5 or 22 inch frames comfortable, when Im in form a 23 is too.
Frames measured center of bb to top of top tube at seat tube.
Only ridden 170mm cranks but have some used 172.5s I got cheap so will try them this summer too.

I'm 6ft 2 with a 34 inch inseam.
Ride a 59 cm Giant CFR 1 with a 57 cm tt and a 56 cm Specialized Allez Comp with a 56.3 cm tt.

5 foot 8 and 3/4 (don't cheat me out of the last mm!!!)

My Felt F65 and Cannondale R400 are both 54s - my mountain bikes are 18 or 19 inches.

6'2" ... just about a 33.5" inseam .. 59cm Litespeed

also 6'2, also have inseam around 32/33, 58cm c-c, 58cm tt. serotta.
