Trek hybrid bike size

[Grog]

I have a Trek Hybrid (7.2 fx) in 17.5" and measure 164 cm. It's just the right size for me.

The fit will depend on your legs and torso length, but I find that generally beginners (I don't know if you're one) feel more comfortable on a smaller bike, something about a greater feeling of safety. But that may cause some issues after a few weeks if the bike does not fit right.

You may want to try a few other sizes and see how they feel. (I know it may not be obvious for you.)

But above all: resist buying a bike because it's on sale and a good deal (unless it's your 10th bike!!)

Good luck!

hey thanks for replying.
i cannot try larger size as they don't have it right now.
i have a small bike now and i do ride for years and i always had smaller bikes as they fit in my elevator. but those were city bikes. i would like to ride a proper sized one this time and this one will go on some trips with me.
Seller said that it really looks small for me.
i think i will go with the bigger size. Problem is if I understood correctly that it is worse to buy a bike that is too big than too small.
if i order this larger one it will still be with discount so i don't have to rush because of the sale.
on trek official page they also suggest 18/19" for my height.

I hope it will be fine.

I have the 7.3. I had to have a larger frame size ordered for me because I'm 5'7' and my legs are long, so when I turned corners my knee would get too close to my elbow of the frame was too small.
