Jamis Quest/Eclipse frame size help
Looking at the geometry numbers for these bikes, it looks like they run a little larger than other manufacturers? Longer top tube and standover height for the same frame size compaired to a Trek. Is anyone riding one and can you comment on this?
With a 28.75 inseam at 5'5" most calculators put me at a 48-49 frame size and the Jamis models come in 47 and 50. Unfortunately no LBS close has either size in stock for me to test ride.
Thanks

I have two Eclipse bikes 1997 all steel and 2004 carbon/steel. Traditional geometry. Jamis Eclipse comes in a 49 frame size and with no other info on how you are built(arm length, etc.) it will fit you. Is this your bike inseam or pant inseam? The 97 is a 51cm frame and it has a 30.5 inch standover. The 49cm frame on the carbon/steel Eclipse has a 29 standover, but it is at my house so I can not measure to give an exact number. Great bike, you will be happy with the Eclipse. Can not comment on the Quest.
