what is you lowest low?\n\n On my 60 CM Palo Alto it's 34x28, on my 58 Merckx is 42x21, I am 6'2" with 170mm cranks on both ( triple gipiemme on the Palo Alto ). Rode in Mexico 2 years ago with my Campi Double 41x22 on 7% grade for 2 miles and I nearly died, hence the switch to 34 on triple low and 28 rear for my "Mexico" bike. Both bike are old school non carbon steel Italian ( the Merckx is Belgium ) bike with Campi Super Record groups on both bikes ( no longer made , about 20 years old, but got all the parts on eBay, some of it NOS ) with toe clips ( yup even retrofitted modern SIDI shoes for toeclip use. ).

It will depend on what type of bike and what type of riding you plan to do. Is it a road bike or a mountain bike, or maybe a bmx? \n\nAlso, the manufacturers may have slightly different methods of measuring their bikes. What is 19" from one manufacturer may be 18.5" from another. \n\nThe best thing to do would be to go into a dealers shop and ask them. (Don't buy from wal-mart or sears etc.) They have tools that will help determine the best size and fit. Then take some bikes for a test ride, see how they feel.

As a big guy myself (6'5", 250lbs), I would suggest a solid framed mountain bike with a hard tail (no rear suspension.)  The rear suspension will bounce more and cause you to work harder.  I would recommend a front suspension, if you can find one in your price range, as it will increase the comfort.  Try looking in a discount sports store locally and see what they have to offer.  Your options will be limited by your price point but you may find something.\n\nAfter looking at the options, you might consider heading to a local bike shop to see if they know of anyone selling a pre-owned bike that would fit your needs.  Sometimes they will know of people trying to sell bikes.  They might even be able to put you on something that will work for a good price.

I would suggest Giant, Trek, Specialized, but I would go for Giants, I've owned a Giant for 4 years and still gong hard but make your research and get what you like the most, also make sure you know what you're planning on using it for, you don't want a 400 dll bike for serious mtb, then youll find your self upgrading down the road, a 400 dll bike is good for commuting and lite off-roading...

What do you need to know?  Frame size, use, price range etc would be useful.

700 x 23c - Tyre size...this is standard issue\n53/39 - Number of teeth on 2 front cogs...standard issue\npedals- comes with pedals\n50cm to 62cm- frame sizes available\n\nthe 50-62cm is frame size availability, not pedal-related. this measurement typically is seat-tube (s-t) length, from center of bottom-bracket (bb) to center of top-tube (t-t), but can sometimes measure to the top of t-t or even to the top of the seat collar.

To determine your proper frame size, you’ll first need to get an accurate inseam measurement . Stand with your back against a wall, your bare feet 6" apart on a hard floor, \nlooking straight ahead.\n Place a book or carpenter’s square between your legs with one edge against the wall, and pull it up firmly into your crotch, simulating the pressure of your saddle while riding. Have a helper measure from the top edge of the book to the floor, in centimeters. (You can convert inches to centimeters by multiplying inches by 2.54.) Repeat two or three times, for consistency, and average the results to get your inseam length.

For this terrain, one would suggest a "Double Boinger" or in other words, a full suspension mountain bike. \n\nThese can be quite expensive, so one may substitute a "regular" mountain bike, also called a hardtail.  These have front shocks and no rear suspension, and they cost a lot less.  \nMake up the difference by using a springer saddle or a suspension seatpost. Either seatpost or springer saddle will cost about $20 each bike, so this method is far less expensive than a "Double Boinger" style.  \n\nAt the $20 price range, the springer saddle is more reliable technology, and they were once considered a "required" part of the enjoyment of cycling.  Bike shops have quite a variety and so does www.bikepartsusa.com and amazon.com.  Avoid the "Web Spring" or "Mattress" variety and just go with the easy and simple two steel spring or two rubber spring sort to get some very enjoyable results.      \n\nWhile it is best to purchase your bikes from a real bike store, Schwinn and Diamondback will always give you usable quality bikes with name brand components at every price point.  So, if you get a very cheap bike, do make sure it is one of those two brands.  These can be found at Target in a limited selection of size ranges, but if you're taller than 5'10" then its off to the bike store with you. ;)  \nLower priced options exist, but will cost you a great deal in repairs and lost enjoyment. \n\nIMPORTANT:  The point of sizing is to get a bike that makes you WANT to go cycling.  Don't settle for less than that.  \n\nIMPORTANT:  In any case, make certain that the rear derailer has the name "Shimano" or the name "SRAM" printed directly on it. \n\nFor your son.  Get him as large a bike as he can stand over with at least an inch "clearance" to the top tube.  It is not important if he can reach the ground from the seat, as that's not correct seat adjustment anyway--legs need to straighten fully when pedaling.  Just make sure that he can stand over it and that it doesn't look like a toy.  \n\nFor you, the same sizing applies, but for a different reason.  Make sure that the bike is large enough to give you a comfortable reach for the handlebars.\n\nWhile it is possible to re-size (UP) the $139 Schwinn mountain bike, the cost of the stem riser adapter and stronger seat post, plus installation, may inflate the price of the bike up to a bike-store-bike price, and you might as well just get the right size to start with.  That's why I said that if you're over 5'10" then you really do need to go to the bike store.  A Diamondback, Raliegh, or Schwinn dealer can still get you a good price.

Bike frame measurements are taken from the center of the crankset to the top of the seat tube (C-T) or to the center of the seat tube (C-C).  Which size you need depends on the particular frame geometry (straight or sloping top tube), your leg length, and whether the bike is for road or mountain.  Also to be considered is the top tube length.  This is important as different people with the same leg length may have different torso lengths.

For the perfect "bike fit" do this:\n1. Raise your seat so you can comfortably extend your legs to the pedals. \n2. With your heal on the middle of the pedal, and the pedal in the lowest position (6 o'clock), your leg should be fully extended with your knees locked. \n3. Now put the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal as it is still in the lowest most position.  Your knee should have a slight bend.\n4. To check your "fore & aft" position, have a friend hold your bicycle and put your pedals in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions or parallel to the ground.  Have your friend hang a string with a washer tied to the end of it (plum bob) from the front of your knee cap.  The washer should be touching the end of the crank arm.  If it is furhter away or behind it, adjust the position of your seat accordingly. \n5. If you still have knee pain, go to your local bike shop and have them fit you professionally.\n\nhope this helps!

I think the ideal setup for you would be a mountain bike, but you can go to Wal-Mart or a LBS (local bike shop), and get some slicks (tires). These are not so nobby, so you can go 1-2 mph faster, (so the BF doesn't get bored), and cost about 12 dollars each! \n (slicks grip the road well, and often have tread)\n\nThen, get a wider seat from Wal-Mart (or the LBS) if the one installed is not very comfortable.\n\nAs for the bike, I suggest you go used. You can get something four times as expensive (a better bike) for the same price).\nGood places to fing a good bike are:\n\nhttp://sfbay.craigslist.org/about/cities.html    (I got mine there)  \nIf craigslist has a city near you, click on the link, then find the "bikes" link and click on that!\n\nAnother place is Ebay\n\nAlso, check your newspaper's classifieds!\n\nMake sure the bike fits well. It is best to get fit to a certain frame size at a LBS, but you can also search for bicycle fitting guidelines on the web. ( I only suggest this because you probably are not going to ride too much) However, you do need the right sized bike, or it will be very uncomfortable. (for the back and the knees).\n\nAs for the actual bike, a good brand should be Trek or Specialized. Everything should work fine on a test ride, and have no rust (a very bad sign of maintenance) and the drivetrain (gears, chain, etc.) should look in good shape.\nIf you do get a  bike, I suggest taking it to a bike shop for a tuneup, at least to oil the chain, etc. and to tighten everything up.\n\nGOOD LUCK!

yes the 19" is way too big. i'm 5'3" and ride a 13" jamis dakar (full suspension bike). i can be seated and still have my feet on the ground. also i have tons of clearance when I'm standing over the bike. both these things are very important when sizing a bike. i also fit on the 15" bike but the 13" is perfect. \n\ni'm not sure but if i had to guess i would say the avg. bike size for a woman is between a small and med (13"-17") the latter being for a taller woman. but i think your girlfriend would be around the same size bike at me between 13 & 15"\n\ngood luck and happy trails.
