Extreme Veteran  640   |  Subject: bike size - post your stats (height, build, brand, bike size)I'm still in the beginning stages of doing my research for buying a tri bike (new entry level or used 2nd level). I understand that bike size depends on both your individual sizing as well as the brand of bike. Informally, I'd like to get an idea of what you guys have just as a starting point: height (your height)

| Pro 5011 Twin Cities | Subject: RE: bike size - post your stats (height, build, brand, bike size) female 5' 9.5", give or take a mm. 135 lbs. Plenty of abnormal, but none affecting my bike sizing ;-) My true inseam is 34.5 inches, so I am, as they say, all legs...tiny torso. My previous tri bike was a Trek Hilo, size 54. I currently ride a specialized transition (2008), in a Medium. My Trek 2300 was a 54; my fuji track is a 54. My GF 29" is a 17.5, as is my 26" schwinn. My Giant TCR Comp is a Medium. I have been known to ride anywhere from a 51 to a 55, depending on the bike. |

| Extreme Veteran 845 Springfield, OH | Subject: RE: bike size - post your stats (height, build, brand, bike size) height (your height): 6' weight (your weight): 250 lbs currently build (anything abnormal? very long legs, short torso? or normal?): slightly long torso brand (your bike's brand): Bianchi bike size (52, 54, 56, etc): I think my bike is 56. 58 is probably "better" based on my inseam though. |

Really? ------------------- Height: 5'10" Yep, I could go with a 54 very easily, but I'm rather small (at 150-155 lbs) and I felt very comfortable on the 51 both from a size and fit perspective, not to mention less weight to carry up the hills. |
I wasn't F.I.S.T. fitted though (didn't really know about much when I bought the bike 2-3 years ago), so that is what I will do at my next bike purchase, as maybe this had something to do with how I felt on the 51 vs 54.| 2011-10-10 4:53 PM in reply to: #3717907 |

Really? ------------------- Height: 5'10" Quite possible that this is the right fit... and a good reason why flexibility and core strength are such important parameters in a bike fit... if very flexible and being able to stay in that position (core strength), then yes, a very low front end would often require going to a frame size that at first glans would be small. |
