Hey guys, first road bike after riding BMX, mountain, and Hybrid since I was a kid. Fell in love with the Infinito and ordered it. It's on it's way (hopefully) in a size 59.

Here's the issue. I am 6'3 with a 34.5" inseam. Not many bikes at your LBS are in the bigger side so I haven't been able to sit on many. I once sat on a 58" Supersix and the sales guy said I should be in a 60". I felt like the 58" was big enough. Same thing goes for my hybrid. I walk into stores and everyone thinks I should ride a size bigger than what I have in mind. As you all may know the Infinito comes in odd number sizes. So if I am a 60 according to that sales guy and a 58 according to a Bianchi dealer they suggested I get the 59. I have never sat on a Infinito for reference.

What do you road guys think? I know many will say "what feels comfortable". But what might feel comfortable at the moment may not be the right size.

59 seems like a good bet.

My buddy is 6'3" as well and rides a 60cm.

It's better to adjust a smaller bike to fit rather than the other way around.

Good luck.

Im worried about it being big.

After looking at the geometry chart at Competitive Cyclist, I'd have gone with a 61. I'm your height and very comfortably ride a 61cm Roubaix.

Whats your inseam?

34"

Bike geometries differ, but i would guess you would fit best on a 58 or 59 in most bikes. I'm an inch shorter than you and ride a 58cm on current bike

If it's on the bike in your avatar, you ride a ton more drop than a bike like an Infinito is designed for. But we all differ in dimensions and what we find comfortable. What Elduderino and I ride is pretty much irrelevant to what the OP will find to fit. I do know that I would be very cramped from a reach perspective on the 58 Infinito with my comfortable drop.

Absolutly love my Bianchi
I have a 53 cm Bianchi infinato ultegra. my inseam is 30"
What colour did you buy?
Celeste?

Cool! No offense, I know that Celeste is their color, but I think it looks terrible. Lol. I got the red and white which looks amazing. Didn't go for Ultegra, but I'll upgrade as I go..

I almost pulled the trigger on the red. I too felt the same about the colour until the history of Bianchi bore under my skin. You will love your new bike.

I'm 6'3" and wear 34" inseam slacks. The ett of my bikes are: 58.6cm (Madone 4.5, 60cm size), 58.6cm (Kestrel RT800-SL, 59cm size), and 58cm (Pinarello FP6, 57.5 cm size). They have either a 110mm or 120mm stem, depending on the reach of the bars.

I'm 6 foot 2 inches and ride a 61 cm Infiniti but I tested a 59 vn7 and it felt good too

I guess I could have gone either way.

The red/white Infinito looks nice, Bianchi does a good job with their colors.

For me, however, it is Passione Celeste in full Campy gear, or nothing.

Regardless of your color choice you will love your Infinito.

I own a Colnago C59 but I still love riding my Infinito.

Good luck. BTW, did you keep your hybrid?

And you would ride more scrunched up than any good rider I know.

+1

I sure did, as much as I love road bikes I enjoy riding my hybrid A LOT. It's great to ride around town and with the wife. It seems that the Bianchi guys here don't take kindly to a non Celeste color. Lol. Your Infinito with Campy gear must be a dream, I just couldn't swing the extra cash right now while house hunting.
