Hi.

For a long search I decided to go with RADON ZR Team 7.0. But I have some questions.

1.My height 199cm, inseam ~ 85cm. I measures my inseam tree times and get different number!!! 82, 85, 88. Sorry for klingon metric sistem, as I see all here using foot and inches. So my question is which to buy 27"5 or 29" and which frame?

2.Maybe You can tell which bike from others brands have most similar frame geometry, that I could go to local shop to test it. In my country we have giant, cube, trek, cannondale, scott, bulls, focus shops.

3. From spec, it is 3×10 gear sistem?

Thank You

    Wheel size is entirely down to personal preference. Depends how you like a bike to ride.
    You're likely to need a large or XL frame but you really need to try for size.
    I'm not convinced mail order bikes are a great idea unless you can look at the geometry numbers and know instantly what will be right. I've seen plenty of mail order German bikes for sale listed as hardly used, bought the wrong size.
