I have 35 inch inseam and wondered what size frame I would need for a Giant SCR C4 as it has a compact frame and I can't find any tables showing equivalent measurements. My lbs will have to order it especially so I can't test beforehand.

    Also go to http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CC ... ATOR_INTRO
    and get someone to help you with your measurements. This method will put you close - the remainder will be up to you personally. Getting a fit right involves more than inseam.
    I have a 35" inseam and ride a large SCR rather than an ex large because I have a short torso. result is the best fit I've had.

    That's great, thanks a lot.

    By the way comsense, how tall are you?

    I think I may be similar at 6ft 1inch and an inseam of 35inch.

    I'm just a hair under 6ft 2".

    Fairly similar, (if i had hair).

    The lbs would exchange the bike if I had got the wrong size but this helps in ensuring that the right size is got first time.

    Thanks again.
