How Tall Are You. What is your frame size?

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

You did not define "cycling inseam". Rivendell fits bikes by "pubic bone height". That is the distance from the floor up to the pubic bone. They suggest taking a yardstick, pushing it up into the crotch area until the stick is firmly against the pelvic bone (and not against the softer stuff). Then, a second person measures the distance from that stick to the floor. So, "floor to public bone" might be a good definition of "cycling inseam".


Height: 5"10"

Leg Length: 35 inches (floor to public bone)

slacks inseam: 32 inches

bike size: - commuting/touring: 60

bike size: - track/off-road riding: 56 to 58

3. Wha?
4. 32"

Had a 57cm Bianchi EV3 but felt too stretched out. Was worn down after a ride. Like my smaller Volpe, so I considered a smaller size when getting the KG486. Was between a 53 and 55. Opted for the 53. Very happy now.
