Hi Folks,

I'm looking at maybe picking up a 58cm Langster 2nd hand. I'm 6'3" so am probably in between the 58 and 61 frame size. Just wondering if anyone out there is similar size with the same bike and does the combination work?

Ta,

  • I am 6'2 with a 58 2007 Langster. That fits me fine.

    My inseam measurement is 87cm by this method:

    "Wearing appropriate clothing, set your bare feet approximately 8" apart and straddle a straight edge – something like a square or a 2' spirit level is ideal, or you can also use a large (A4+) book. Put as much pressure on your crotch as you feel when sitting on your bike seat, while standing straight i.e. back to a wall or door post. Measure the distance from the top of the level/book to the ground. Alternatively, mark the wall, then step away and take the measurement of the mark to the ground. And whatever you do, please don't use the inseam measurement from your Levi's! Trouser inseams are at least 2" shorter than your actual inseam."
