I'm 5' 8" with 31" inseam.

I have input this into the Rose calculator and it is suggesting a 53cm frame.

I have tried and felt fine on these bikes: Trek 2.3 / Sepesh Allez / Spesh Secteur all with 54cm frames.

However these three bikes have geometry much closer to a Rose 55cm and conversely the 53cm Rose frame geometry is much closer to the 52cm variants of the three bikes I have tried. Only short tests though so maybe not definitive.

I will have a stab at the Competitive Cyclist tool later on but in the meantime is there anyone on here about my size who could share their frame size choices? Or any other relevant advice.

Thanks.

    I have a Rose Pro SL 2200 which is the same but with Sram :)
    I am 5' 11" and used all of the size calculators on their website while ordering and my bike fits perfectly.

  • Tom22 - what size do you get? I'm 5' 10" and it suggests a size 57 frame for the Carbon Pro.
