Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: Bike Question At 6 1 I think 54 would be on the small side. It also depends on torso and leg length. All bikes are not created equal and finding your proper fit can depend on brand. LBSwill get you on a few types and sizes. I could ride 54 or 56 at 5 10 but have heard others using 51 at the same size as me. Gotta try them out to see |

I would have been on a 58 with a Felt or Trek. |

It depends on YOU mainly. I'm 5'10, ride a 54 scott CR1, but a 56 Felt S32. There are general rules to follow during fitting, but different people will have different needs. |
