Hi there hopefully looking to purchase the cayo soon.One concern is not being able to see the bike before purchase (wiggle).

Im 6ft 1.5" with an inside leg measurement of 34.5" judging from the size table I would fit a XL58 frame or possibly a 60 ??? not sure.

Is there anyone here with my measurements and rides a cayo.

thanks in advance.

    I'm 6' but not too sure about the inside leg. I brought the XL and it fits fine. In any case you can always send it back and get it changed.

    I got the Expert, it's vv nice

    Hi
    Bought a Cayo the other week, I'm 6 1" with a 33 " inside leg, I went for the XL 58, and it fits just fine, so you should be ok with that as you will have loads of seat post to play with!!

    Very nice bike too if that makes any difference.

    Regards
  • Hi

    Im 6' 1/2" and got a 58. I'm happy with it, but it is on the large side and I reckon I would have been ok with the 56. Difficult to say whether it would be "better" though. Anyway - my take is that the frames are quite big for their sizes, so if you're between two sizes go for the smaller.

    Regardless, its a stunning piece of machinery :)

    I'm 6' 2" and bought the 60cm 2006 Cayo. I found the stem to be too short (90mm) and the cranks were only 172.5 which I thought was on the small side for a bike that large. I felt much happier with the fit once I'd changed both, I guess that's the gamble you take when buying a bike online.

    Yep, from what you say, I'd tend towards the 58 rather than the 60

    good luck with it :)

  • I am 6ft 1, have a 34" inside leg, and go the L (58cm cayo expert). 11cm stem is actually too long, have fitted a 10cm one and its a perfect size.
