Question 1

if i am 5'10" and i went to my LBS and they were saying get 54 cm and 56cm bikes but this only comes in 53 cm and 57cm then what should i go with?

Accepted Answer

I'm 6'2" and I ride a 58cm.  I would guess you want 53cm frame, but the best thing is to find someone with a bike in that size range you can fit yourself on.  If your legs, arms, or torso are not average size, it will affect the size bike you want.

Question 2

I'm 5 feet tall, fitted for a 48 cm frame. I'm very interested in purchasing this bike but  the smallest it comes is 49cm. Will this work for me?

Accepted Answer

To answer this we need to convert centimeters to inchs since you are 5 feet tall. 48 cm is equal to 18 inches. That is 1 foot 6 inches. The centimeters to inches conversation is 0.39370 to 1. With all of this information we can conclude that a 1 cm difference in height will not  inhibit the rideability of this bicycle. Seriously it's a centimeter.

Question 3

I am 5'7 and half and you guys only have small and medium size so I was wondering which one would you recommend me for my height?

Accepted Answer

If your inseam is less than 34 you could use a medium frame. If it is less than 30 you need a small frame. The bike will still need to bee fitted by an experienced bike shop. If you buy this bike plan on a wheel upgrade. Otherwise a good frame and fair components for entry level.

Question 4

What is the Max tire width I can use?

Accepted Answer

I ride a 23, you can def do a 25 and maybe a 28
