What size frame do you have?

**silver** · 09-21-2006, 10:22 AM

I ride a Road bike, a trek 1000. It is a 58cm. I am 5'8" and my inseam is 34.5 inches. Most people react negatively when I tell them my bike size saying that must be too big for me. but I think it's a good fit. I have been playing with the seat position lately and think that I've made some improvements. I've been riding a lot more lately and feel like my body has adjusted to a more aggressive fit.

I am 5'6" and I ride Trek Medone WSD 54cm - it is not inches. This is a correct measurement especially if your legs are long. If you have trouble reaching handlebars, switch the stem.

5'9 1/2" here. I have 2 road bikes- both are 58cm (Jamis steel and Scott carbon). I've reversed the stem on the Scott, and got an adjustable stem on the Jamis. (I was experimenting with the Jamis to see if an adjustable stem would give me more power on the hills) Seat adjustments on both, but that's it.

I'm 5' 1" with an inseam of 28". I have a Trek Pilot WSD 47 cm. Fits me beautifully.

Originally posted by Eden I'm shorter than most of you at only 5', but I have a 29" inseam

Yep, you are shorter -- I beat you by 1/4"

I was 5' 1&1/2" last year - I shrunk an inch

!!

My bike is a 13" & inseam is 28".

Peace & Love,

I'm 5'7" and I ride a 54 cm frame, not WSD. Not sure what my inseam is. Porbably at least 30.

I am 5'5.5" and ride a Specialized 52 cm frame (size small)

I'm just under 5' (I can't bring myself to put the number 4 down!), with 27.7 inch inseam, and I've found it much easier to find mountain bikes in small sizes. I've had 11" and 12.5" mountain bikes. My road bike is a 38cm frame --took me a long time to find, and so I think I'll be keeping her forever!

I'm 5'2.5" with a 28.5" inseam and have ridden road bikes in the 44-46 cm size and mountain bikes between 12"-15.5". A lot depends upon the exact geometry of the particular bike, as others have said.

After buying my 2nd WSD bike (first was my road bike, now my MTB - A genesister), I found that the WSD fit was great for people like me -- shorter waisted, only 5'3" but longer legs (30" inseam). The fit on a WSD small works for me because the stretch length (along the top tube, seat to stem) just fits me better. If you have issues with leg length, you can work with the seat or get longer crank arms as an option.

Worked for me, but of course it will vary!!
