WSD vs Men's frames

[Catrin]

.... The bike I want is a Kona Honky Inc. and they come in 49, then 53. I felt closed in on the 49, so I presume I need the 53.
I know that bikes are sized differently.....

It doesn't necessarily follow that the 53 would fit - a good LBS with a good fitter will help you determine which frame will fit you better before the purchase. My first LBS sold me the smallest Trek 7.6 FX, which wasn't inexpensive, but it was still too large for me & I didn't know enough to realize that at the time. I've since learned that some brands will never fit me...and I will also never purchase another bike from that store. Gear, yes, bikes....no.

That doesn't mean the 53 cm wouldn't fit you, but it is worth exploring it with a fitter to make certain that it will before you pull the trigger
