Guest Jim Daly Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 54 (or equivalent for compact frames) but beware certain makes. I understand that a Trek 56 is more like a 54. There are experts out there who could advise further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted November 26, 2007 Life Members Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Greg, As far as I'm aware, the sizing of any frame is only a guide to the geometry of the designs of the frame, I would suggest that as well as looking at the frame size you also have to take into account the TT (Top Tube) lenght of the frame and personally I would look at the stand over height also. Getting a bike that fits you comfortably is important, if you get one that don't fit you could cause future problems as well as being a bit dangerous while riding. Best way is to test ride the bike before you buy or look at the frame geometry charts of the size of bike that you are thinking of buying. Jim's suggestion is a good starting point, but there are other factors that come into play, so do a bit of research as to your own body dimensions and the bikes. Give Donald Scally, Martin Mulholland & others a PM I'm sure they'll be glad to help! Happy Hunting! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
