I know all manufacturers have different geometry for their frames but i am just interested in what frame size you ride.

If you reply please put your height,inside leg as well as frame size.

    What if you're not a Giant and ride a bike 53cm and smaller?

    What if you ride an imperial sized bike?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    There's smaller than 52cm aswell, you know.

    Personally I ride a 54cm and a 56cm. I'm 5'8, so they are slightly too big, but I don't really find it a problem.

    i think frame size is better decided on torso length rather than leg length given the further range of adjustability offered by a seat post compared to a stem (which if its too long or too short will knacker the handling anyway).

    I'm just under 5'9" with very short legs (29" inside leg i think - maybe a touch more) so i have a custom built semi compact frame with a theoretical top tube length of 57cm (fitted with an 11cm stem) to accomodate my relativley long torso but which still allows me to have adequate standover clearance for my stumpy legs

    I've always ridden a 22.5" frame which translates as 57cm. My new Kinesis frame is, in fact, just that - 57cm (570mm in SI units :) )

    I haven't voted.

    What a sizeist poll :evil: . I have 2 bikes - an oldish 50cm Ribble with a horizontal top tube and a small Pompino which I think equates to 51cm.

    My road bike and my fixie are both 58cm. I'm 6' with a 34" inside leg (in trousers, rather than crotch to floor).

    Not really. Units are acceptable in steps of 10^3 or 10^-3. Farads, for example, are rarely used.

    Metres is the SI unit. But prefixes can also be used, as centi- (c) is a valid prefix, 57cm is just as valid as 570mm.

    Low centre of gravity, like Ronaldo, so a 54cm for me.

    Another way of saying I'm like Toulouse-Lautrec's little brother. Or mini-me.

    Actually I'll stick with Ronaldo.

    Plus 3cm to give a horizontal top tube equivalent = 54cm. The small is 48/51.

    Anything between 50 and 54cm. depending on the top tube length.
