sizing help
would a 53cm frame be too much of a stretch for someone whos 5'9-5'11?
|
can i wear a size 9 shoe? i'm 175lb.
|
Check the your leg inseam and check the standover for the bike. This is a quick, and ony of many, way to see if it is a decent size for you. I'm going to have to say get the next size up or the one after that. What frames are you looking at?
|
It's definitely in your range, but it's the seat tube and the top tube that you need to take in consideration, not just the former...
|
id guess that would be a negative stretch
but i dont have access to your body :( |
I'm about 5'9", and I ride a 53cm Soma Rush. I think it's probably a tad small, and my next frame will be larger, but it's not bad. It's comfortable.
I always wonder though if I had a larger frame that fit perfectly if I'd be even more comfortable, so who knows. |
i mean i just bought a frame on impulse and then was like "oh wait that might me pretty uncomfortable" .but i guess i feel better now?
|
5'9" to 5'11"... isn't that too tall for a 53cm?
I'm 5'7" and I ride a 53cm. |

It depends. You may have to play around with a longer stem or seatpost set back. What's the TT? And do you have long/short legs, long/short torso? Do you like to ride with a flat back? Do you adhere to KOPS?
|
I think a 57 might be a tad large for me, but I definitely need something bigger. I think I'm going to get a Pista Concept/Felt/Fuji Track Pro or something along those lines to race and keep the Soma as the street/beater bike.
|
Oh, and FWIW, I'm 5'10 and my best fitting bike is 52cm CTC on the seat tube and 54.5cm CTC on the top tube with a 11cm stem.
