Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Quick Sizing for Pinarello question.....

Looking to pick this pinarello up off of craigslist. I'm about 5'7.5 and the bike is a size 46cm, will this fit me? Obviously I will test it out more there, but just so I have a general frame of reference. The owner says it fits from 5'5-5'9....here is the link https://atlanta.craigslist.org/bik/780315442.html

5' 9" for a 46 cm? Hes insane. Try 54-56 for someone 5' 9".

It will be small (unless this pinarello has funky sizing that I know nothing about). But go ahead and try it anyway.

I thought the same thing. Because I am probably a 52 or 54 on my current bike (can't even remember, bought the damn thing so long ago). But is it possible to raise the seat higher or something like that? I really like this bike, and I've negotiated a great deal.

i'm 5'7" and my pino is a 54

if your legs and torso are average then a 46 frame is too small.

great deal because the size is for trolls.

Damn. What height would one have to be, for a size 46?
