are you laughing or crying? Hard to tell.
At 5'9", I'm thinking you should be on a 60cm.

60cm seems way too large. I'm 5'9" as well and found the 56cm fit the best. It was a toss up between the 56cm and 58cm so I just went with the 56cm

60 is too big for 5'9". 6'1" 195 here and ride a 58 05' Trek.

You guys rock!
But Frylock won't let me use his cloner to make brownie monsters so I want him to ride a bike that's way to big and suffer the consequences at a stoplight. Cuz, ya know, I'm evil like that.

Ok so he has a cloner and won't share uh. Then he does need a 60 maybe a 62.

Well Fryman, if you ever need anything, you know who to go to... someone else.

I'm 5'8" and ride a 50cm. It depends on the length of your legs doesn't it?

I would request a copy but I really want to see the spec sheet first.

I'm just glad to hear that I'm more of an average height than I thought!
I'm 5'9" too and I ride a 54 (30" inseam)

I would disagree, and say that fit is more about top tube length than inseam. Easy to adjust seat height, but more difficult to play with stem length.

Agreed. Especially with compact geometry that many of today's bikes have. However, the Trek 1000 is traditional geometry. (well at least the 04 was) So both need to be addressed. Reach vs. stand over height.

Frylock doesn't want a Trek 1000, FYI... so you're falling on deaf ears.
