Actual Bike Sizings

Aggerdoo

I'm looking at buying myself my first road bike and have been told that Giant bikes seem to dcome up a bit big so a 55.5cm would really be like a 57ish?
I know you can only get the real feel by trying the bikes out but I'm also looking online on ebay etc to try and get a more expensive year or 2 old bike for cheaper and it's not always easy to go and try the bike out first. And I don't know anywhere near me that stocks Cube bikes, Forme etc.

If you've got a smart phone there's a handy app called Size my Bike. You put in some body measurements and the geometry measurements for the frame, available on manufacturer websites. It works well as a guide to your frame size
