According to charts I should have a 56 inch frame . This bike is not offered in that size. Anyone know if I should go up-down or not at all? I'm 5.11

I typically ride a 62, but this bike maxed at 58 if I remember. Riding a smallerish frame has worked out just fine so far. However given the option if rather ride a bike a little bigger for me than small.

Cheryl,I think you should go up. I'm 5'6" and I have the smallest frame available. Good luck in your choice!

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

I would go up. I am 5'5" and I have the 54 cm. It is a little tall, but it works well for me. For someone 5'11", I know it would be a little small. I would get the 58.

That depends on if you like to sit higher or lower and how much lean you can handle into the bars. Either way you will have to adjust the seat height to find the right comfort level. From there you need to determine if you prefer riding with your chest down or up (bigger frame if down, smaller if up).Ultimately you want a bike that fits you so you don't have to adjust to it. You're increasing your risk of muscle strain and injury by not finding a perfect fit. I suggest shopping around till you find one. Just think, would you marry the first man who proposed just because you wanted to get married or would you make absolutely certain that he was Mr. Right?

Hi Jennifer! I actually bought it for my best friend and her boyfriend who is 6 feet tall tested it out for me and he said it might be a little too small for him but he said since it's a 26 inch frame it might be ok. Sorry I could not be more helpful. It's a super cute bike though!

I am 6.1 as well, and this is too small. I would go with bigger tires and a larger frame.

I think this bike will be small for you. I am 5.6 and it fits me perfectly, but I have a feeling that for someone over 6 feet it is a small bike.

Hi, I would love to tell you I am a master at bike buying, but the truth is I was lucky to know that bikes came in a size. This fits my brother who is 5'10, and 165 lbs. Based on your height I would think that your legs are a bit longer than his, so you probably would want a slightly larger frame. Weight doesn't seem to be an issue. His buddy is 5'10 but 220lbs and borrows the bike. If there was a difference, I couldn't tell. If you'd like more help, I used the bike calculator tool at ebicycles to check on the bike for my brother, but it also needs your leg length and it varies by type of bike. I've attached a link for the different calculators. It has calculators for road bikes, mountain bikes, and bmx bikes. I hope that helps! http://www.ebicycles.com/article/bicycle-frame-size-charts.html#bicycle-size-calculators

I would say so. Im 5'8" and it is almost too big. If I bought another bike, i would go smaller. Hope this helps.

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.

Also i bought this frame in a 58 and it felt a bit tall for me. I do like smaller frames though.

My wife is 5'3 and I adjusted the handle bars and the seat to fit to her requirements. I am 6'0; however, I have a long torso with short inseam and we both enjoy the ride, except for the uphill. I can easily say that a person with a 5'8 height should be able to make proper adjustments for this bike to reach the desired results. WARNING: This bike will give you a work-out! I should have purchased the 3 or higher speed bike, with no speed adjustment the hills are painful. If you don't mind looking like "The Incredible Hulk" from the waist down...well maybe that's a little exaggerated but this bike does require some downward effort to move.

I'm 5'4 and 18inch is just perfect for me. My best guess would be for you to try both size at a local store. Or you can check online for size charts : it will tell you the recommended bicycle frame height according to your height. Under 5'4 = they recommend 18 inches
1224091
the first size (16, 18, 20) is the size of the frame. At 173 cm height you would want the 16", that is the correct size for you. As to whether or not you can ride it ... well I can't answer that for you :P

I just bought this bike without looking for frame size. Really don't know If they have other size Mine is Large when compared to others I guess you should ask for a specific frame size before buying it Mine is a very good road bike

Hi, It really has to do with your body size and what you are comfortable straddling. Per the Montague website - - Bike Sizing: 18in Frame: 5'3" - 5'10" Standover height 30" 20in Frame: 5'11" - 6'4" Standover height 31" ====== I am 5'7" with short legs and the 18 inch one works fine for me. The "stand-over height" of 30 and 31 inches, respectively can be a good clue. Measure the height from the floor to the top of the cross-bar on a mountain bike you feel comfortable riding (or straddling at a bike shop, if you have none). See if that offers any answers.

It woudl probably fit you better than it does me and I'm 5'11". Having to keep my seat high up for my legs, I'm leaning over more than I wanted (only because I have back issues, thats all). I think 5'6" would be ideal for this bike. I could easily lower my seat a good 4 inches.

I am 5' 10" and the bike fits fine.There are adjustments in the bike to accommodate your height, but I would be more concerned with weight - the built in shocks are not adjustable and it might be a problem if you are over (in my estimation) 220 lbs.

I don't know where they got the 18" from, but this bike does NOT have an 18" frame. I measured it and it's around 21"-22". It should be perfect for your height.

My opinion is that this bike might be too small for her. I am 5'6" and I would not want it any smaller. I have long legs and have adjusted the seat way up, so it's OK for me. It's a great bike, but it is on the small side.
