Frame size

[withm]

That's about what I was thinking. Even with the seat raised up to the line, and pushed all the way back he wasn't even close...

What would that translate to in a frame size on a hybrid? He has a hybrid that's a 20" frame, but I think that is probably too small as well.

Also, check out the Fit Guide at competitivecyclist.com.

My husband (6'7") and I spent the morning going through the fit guide for him. He's currently riding a 25" Miyata frame from 1985, which translates to a 61cm frame (with the largest seat post and stem commercially available). The fit guide says he needs somewhere between a 65 and 69 cm frame, depending on the riding posture.

I found a 70 cm vintage Schwinn online, and am waiting to hear back about it. But as of today frames over 58 cm are hard to find. I haven't checked every craigslist in the country, though.

He probably really needs to know his cycling inseam before he goes any further. See above.
