Hi there, thinking of getting me the above mentioned bike. I am unable to try one in the flesh and I usually go for a 58cm road frame.

Anyone out there 6'1" with a 34" inseam and riding a Jake the Snake by any chance?

Cheers.

    Of limited help, but I'm 6ft with a 56cm Kona Jake and it fits fine.

    Always Tyred gave me some guidance on frame sizing. Paging AT....

    I'm 6' 1.5" and 33" inseam and ride a 58cm Kona JTS.

    I think the 58cm fits me better than the 56cm, and the 60cm would be too big - if you get me.

    Great bike by the way. It's served me well thru the norwegian winter.

    Ah, thanks chaps, I'm pretty confident that the 58cm will be ok. Sounds like it will be.

    Cheers.

    there's a bike called Jake the Snake?! Amazing! I want one, one of my favourite wrestlers of all time! Shame he turned into a crack head :( Also his entrance music is up there too. Great days!
