I am looking for a bike that is road or hybrid to ride for exercise. I am 5'6' tall with an inseam of 27" Will this bike be okay given my size?

I think this will work fine for you. My wife has the same measurement and she can ride it fine. I love the bike . You cannot beat it for the price. i did take it to the bike shop for a tuning after I bought it. No problems. Very comfortable.I am 5'9" w/ 29" inseam. I have plenty of room.

I would have to say no, I am 5'10" with a 32" inseam and I only just clear the frame while straddling the bike. See more information at http://www.schwinnbikes.com/schwinn-life/finding-the-right-schwinn/bike-sizing

I purchased the large 20", and I am 211cm (6' 1") tall and have an 81cm (32") inseam. The inseam is the number you want to focus on. You want to make sure that you will be able to comfortably put your feet on the ground while straddling the bike.

I'm 6'3, 200 lbs. and love the bike. I have the seat and handlebars at the highest settings and can get get full extension. It would probably be close for you.

when I bought this bike, I figured I would need small to medium frame(50cm to 54cm)because I have 28" inseam..With my feet on the ground,I barely clear the top bar..a ebay listing shows the frame to be classed medium(17.5" to 18")

The bike I use and recommend is the SUNLITE EXERCISER SUNLT F5 TRAINER. I'm 6' 170 and there is still plenty of adjustments settings if needed.

My wife is 5'2" and she says that she wouldn't be comfortable if she was shorter. However I've seen much shorter girls ride this bike.Ideally you want the measurement of your inseam and not your height. You need an inseam of 28" (I believe) to be comfortable riding this bike. Good luck!

I think so. Am 5'8 and I bought the medium. It's more of an upright ride, rather than the bent over road bike position.

Boy, it depends on body proportions. I am just 5'3", but I have long legs for a short girl. I like a 31-32 inseam in pants. I like my 15" bike. I would venture to say that the 15" is probably well suited to a 5'5" woman. When I stop, I land on tip toes, so I think at 5'5" the 17" bike would still be too tall to navigate easily.

It depends on your insesm length. Look at the standover height in the bike's specs & chose the size thst is 5 cm shorter than your inseam. You'd probably need a small or medium.

I am 5'5" and the bike is perfect. You sit in an upright position. You can adjust the handlebars to set more forward which will make you bend over a little more. If you want some specific measurement you need to ask that quesiton. I raise the seat high (like it should be) so my knees bend correctly. My inseam is around a 32".

It depends on the frame size that you get the bike in. I'm 6'2 and 260 lbs. I got mine from wal_ly worl_d to save on shipping and to ensure a good fit. Ideally, you want at least an inch or two between pant inseam and the top support beam when the bike is straddled to ensure an easy mount and dismount. With no add-ons, bike was excellent except for the seat which I found a bit uncomfortable. I changed the saddle out for an EasySeat 2 which was a 5 minute fix. Now it's comfortable to ride and sails smooth with no problems. Great bike. Especially for the price.

I am only 5' tall and I could actually cycle comfortably on 1 setting above the lowest. I did lower it down to lowest setting and feels even better. Overall, it is hard to find a bike that fits a short person so I am extremely happy this one works for me. I just measured my inseam and it is 28" but remember shoes might add another inch or two if your inseam is lower.

ask your local bike shop! your inseam measurement is much more important. any bike shop can size you to a bike with your height inseam and riding style.

Hi, I bought this bike a couple of months ago and I'm really happy with it, I'm 5'2'' and it's quite tall for me so I think it would be perfect for you

I am 6'2" and weigh 220lbs. The bike is just fine for me. You will not have any issues.

I bought bike for my 5'6" wife, she has not used it yet. I am 5'8" and rode it a little. Seemed fine.
