Hey all, i tried using the search but couldnt find a clear answer. Im going to be ording a New Leader 725 in a 58cm, my question is im 6'3 do you think ill be uncomfortable riding one? I know nothing about this world of bikes, im coming from MTB/Urban/DJ bikes
Thanks for the help
an im sorry if this has been beat to death

I would say stop by your LBS first and try out different size bikes. I'm not sure how the Leader's geo is so I cant comment (and I'm sure I'd be wrong anyway) but really go get checked out on one first before dropping money if you arent comfortable

Then compare geometry.

Compared to most frames, the Leader 725 is really long and low. At 5'10", I'm perfectly comfortable on my 55.

Maybe hamfoh can chime in here - I know he's riding a 58.

Thanks for the info guys ill go down an get fitted this weekend

One last thing: inseam is also a considerable factor in bike sizing. I'm 5'7" and still growing with a 30 inch inseam. A buddy of mine is 6'2" with a 30 inch inseam. So, height isn't everything.

Also, remember that you can make a small bike fit bigger easier than you can make a big bike fit smaller.

Unless you have Frodo-like proportions, I'd be getting something bigger than a 58.

Find a bike fitter that has a fit bike, like this Serotta. Basically, you bring the dimensions of the bikes you are considering, the fitter plugs them in and you sit and see how it feels.

I did this before I got my Tiemeyer as suggested by Mr. Tiemeyer. It was pretty cool. I got to feel my bike before it was ever built.
