Help me on sizing
 

I am about 5ft 9.5inches tall and my inseams about 32 inches.
I am trying to get used waterford 2200 which has 58cm ct.
Would it be too big for me?
I really want it because it is on really good deal.

In all probability, it is way too big for you. I have a 32 pants inseam, I'm 6' 0.5" tall, and all my bikes are 56's. I know a few guys shorter than me who ride 56's, but none on 58's.

It's not a good deal if it doesn't fit. Good luck.

I'm 6ft

58cm is sometimes too large for me

My SS road bike is a 56cm and the handlebars are the heightest I can come and my seat is half way up. More for comfort.

My road bike is a 54 with the handlebars high and seat post high also. It barely fits me.

A 52,54 and maybe a 56 might fit you, but there is no way a 58 can.

I'm about the same size and ride a 56 with a 90mm stem. Sometime I want to try a 54 to see if I feel better on that size.

Offhand, I'd say 56cm is as tall as you want to go, but I'd ask for the standover height dimension and you may answer your own question. Frames, unfortunately, vary a lot these days.

In my opinion, you should be looking at modern frames around 54,5 to 55.5 virtual top tube/effective top tube.

In traditional steel the same thing, stuff around 55 or 56 center to top with a 55 to 56 top tube center to center.

I would not even consider stand over height because same length frames nowadays have top tubes at different heights, not even mention bikes with sloping geometry or bikes with different BB heights, all those factors make stand over useless because could takes you or frames too big or too small.

I am 6'0" with a 32" inseam. I was fitted for a 58cm frame. But personally I think you should spend the money on a fitting.

+1 you can pay for a general fitting where the give you the specs, then you can verify the bike, then take the bike in to finish the fitting... our LBS does it basic for $75 and extended for $120... well worth the cash

Whenever posting info on your "inseam", keep in mind that cycling inseam is measured saddle-like crotch contact in bare feet. Most bike speak is also in metric form. A 32 inch or 81cm inseam is about average for your height. Most likely, you need a frame in the 52-54cm size range, depending on how the size is defined. There are several measuring methods that can make one brand's 52cm the same and another's 54cm.

As an example, I have an 83cm cycling inseam, but my inseam is long, at 83cm. I ride a 51cm frame , measured center to center, or 53cm center to top. I could ride up to 2cm larger, with my leg length, but in most brands, the reach gets too long and requires a stubby stem.
