Hi,

Looking a bit of advice on the frame size for a felt f95. This is my first road bike, im 6-6'1 foot with 32cm ínside leg. According to wiggles sizing this should have been a 58cm frame, but they have sent me out a 54cm frame. With the seat right up this seems ok for legs on pedal but will i suffer on longer rides if i dont get a bigger frame? seems a bit awkward when in the drops but could just be as im not used to a race bike.

Any thoughts or advice is welcome.

Donal

    Presumably your inside leg isn't really 32cm :)

    If not, and you actually ordered the 58, and you still want the 58, just ask them to replace it. They should ship and collect at no extra charge to yourself.

    Theoretically anything is possible: pros at the mo' ride tiny frames with huge seat/bar drop and long (ie 140mm) stems, but they are pros not someone who has ordered a bike and had the wrong one delivered.

    Send it back, get the right sized frame. End of.

    I'm the same height as you and ride a frame 6cm bigger. My inside leg is 36" however so maybe with a long stem it would fit you fine if you like a deep drop. I would personally send it back though as I bet you'll regret keeping it.

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Its not just the height of the frame - it will be the length. Tell Wiggle you want the right frame and stop riding that one.

    surely if you rode on it, its yours now.

    why not just send it straight back?
