quick bike size question
I'm around 6'0" - 6'1". For a road bike frame, I've heard I probably need a 58 cm frame. In general, does this seem right to people? I realize that there's a lot to a good bike fit, but I've got to make a decision fast.
thanks,
thanks,

Height has NOTHING to do with frame size.
I'm 6'0" and ride a 55cm.
It's all about your inseam.
I'm really short legged and long torsoed, if I rode a 58cm, I'd be splitting the "boyz".
