    Utter crap. Inside leg and arm length totally ignored. Same for crank length. I am 5.9 with an inside leg of 29 and ride a 49 or 50, but according to this drivel l should be riding a 56.

    Yep, anybody following those guidelines is going to end up with a bike that is too big for them. I’m just under 6’ tall with a 33” inside leg.

    According to the general size chart I should be riding a 56-58cm frame.

    Using the ‘magic formula’ for inseam I should be riding a 59cm frame.

    I have 4 bikes, all of them are 55cm, which is my perfect size. My first road bike was a 56cm which required me to swap the stem out for a 90mm stem as I was too stretched out. Lesson learnt when I replaced it several years later.
