Frame Size

Panhandling Prince

Hi

Just a couple of qs.

I am looking at getting a new XC bike and wondered what frame size I would need now. Its been a while since I last rode.

I am 182 cm/ 6t with a 34 inch inside leg and I am 15.9 st.

Anyone give me a rough guide?

Totally depends on the make and model. You should go and test a few to see what suits. There are other parts of geometry such as top tube length that are important.

see if the bikes u want are on evans cycles cos they have a sizing thing on their site!! check it out: http://www.evanscycles.com/

That Evans thing is useless!

I`m an inch shorther and an inch shorter in the leg and I ride a 19" framed bike.As sonic says its the top tube length that often affects fit more than the seat tube length,so there,s no substitute to trying as many bikes as you can.You may find you find anything from an 18" to 21" frame feels right.



Don't forget fit can be fine tuned with longer seatposts,wider bars and different length stems,too.
