GlynnP Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I imagine you will need something around a 54cm. Specialized do a guide here which states you need either a 52cm or a 54cm When you are in the middle of sizes like that its all due to preference and how you want to be positioned on the bike. Best thing is probably to pop into a bike shop that sells complete fixies (charge, mongoose, fuji, specailized) and try having a sit on them and see how it feels.

err Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 i'm 5ft 7 and when i had road bike i had a 49cm frame which felt good, but i have quite short legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Measure your inside leg and looks for the standover height of the frame if possible. I'm about your height and a 52-56cm is comfortable. But people have different size legs so best to measure your inside leg too.

Jake. Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I do track racing and I went for a 56cm, this frame was perfect for me, however for going about town I'd probably go for a 54cm frame. I'm 5"11 now, but when I first got the 56cm frame I was around 5"9 so I'd say go for a 52-54 if I were you. What are you going to use it for?

jambo Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm the same height as you dude I ride a 54 genesis flyer. I find this to be fine on my inside legs but it's more the top tube length that is to long I'd rather have a slightly smaller frame where if I wanted I could run a longer stem to compensate I'm currently running a 50mm bmx stem to make it fit! 52 would be my preferred size as I have shortish arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
