I'm 5'8, ~31cm inseam, & average length arms and have a 50cm. I've ridden a 53 kilo and even with a longer stem and little adjustments I didn't feel too stretched out. My junk was snug on the TT but I rarely need to stand. I don't think anyone bigger than me would go wrong with a 53.

What are you doing on a 50??? That bike must be TINY for you. I am 1" taller than you and I ride the 55, which is a perfect fit. My buddy who is 4-5" shorter than me just got a 50 last week.

My 50 fits fine. It's a little cramped with drops (that's why I want to get a 53 as well), but I'm using bullhorns and it rides just fine.

Is it weird that I've had my bike (non-mercier) for only a couple months yet have a total hardon for the stock Kilo TT Pro in tangerine?

Nice bikes in this thread BTW.

Haha not at all man. I was looking at the color and I might end up picking it up and selling my bike. Sexy bike indeed.

Hey can anyone help me out with buying the right size. I was looking at either 47cm or 50cm. I'm roughly 5'8, basically 5'7 and a half. I have about a 29 inseam. I was wondering which I should pick. I'm just skeptical because the 47 has basically my stand over height, but I've read people at 5'2 fit it. If anyone can help out. It be greatly appreciated. IF anyone has these sizes, it be nice to know your inseam and height. Thanks.

I'm riding a 50cm at 5'4" and I'm barely clearing the stand over height. Most 5'7 kids I know are riding at least 50cm.

5'4" riding a 50cm Kilo sounds like you bought one that's too big. I'm 5'11" and ride a 53 comfortably.

I plan on running drops/hoods soon, hence the machined front. Velocity to Dura Ace.

55cm. 6'0/30-31ish inseam.
