Subject: Triathlon Bike Advice for 6'2", 35" inseem
Hey All,
I am looking for a new tri bike, but based on my location  I do not have any convenient bike stores to check them out myself.  Are there any brands that tend to be better for long legged, short torso people?

I am leaning towards a felt b2/12. Anyone my size ride that bike and what size frame do you have?

I have had  bike fit  specialist recommend me sizes from 56 cm to 60cm and don't know who to believe.

I'm 6'3" and have been riding a Cervelo P2C 60" for the last 2 years. Very comfortable and no issues due to my height. I had a pro fit done and it took a couple weeks to get comfortable with the more agressive position compared to my road bike to tri bike conversion. Awesome bike and great deal.

Hi flynavy I am 6"4" with a 36 inseam and ride a 61cm cervelo p2c. With your leg length this is the bike to have. It has a tallish headtube and will fit you nicely with probably a 90 mm stem since your upperbody is short. I don't think you should be on a smaller bike than this as the fit would be too aggressive and you would ride the hoods for a lot of your longer rides.

I am 6'2" and have a 60cm B12 and it fits fine. As a matter of fact I am selling the frame with a custom paint job (see the classified section http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=161396&posts=9#M2232618  because of sponsorship conflicts.
