hi,

I'm looking to buy a 2nd hand Bianchi via nirone. I'm 6' 1" (185 cm) with an 87cm ish inseam.

Any advice on which frame size to go for - I'm thinking either 57cm or 59cm?

cheers

    I'd forget 57cm. I'm same size as you and had a 57cm which was waaaay too small!!!

    If I bought another, I'd probably go for a 61cm as the 57cm felt really small.

    Probably best to try and get a sit/ride on a 59cm and a 61cm in a shop to see how they feel.

    The smaller frame will have more drop between the saddle and bars.

    I'm 6 foot and the 57 was perfect for me - but the 59 might well be your size. I'd pop into a bike shop and try a few if I were you

    Cheers for the replies. Have double-checked and I'm actually a cm or so shorter than I thought - 184cm or 6ft ½ inch. 87cm or 34.25 inch inseam is correct. Does this push me towards a 57cm frame?
