Hi Guys

the best thing to do - is go to all your local bike shops, ask them how the sizing works.

 

you will get totally confused as its all different for all different brands.

 

then take it from there and come on here and get more confused. Only then will you understsand. And sizing will make sense.

Any reputable bike shop can measure you

 

How tall are you, as it is a starting point. Your height however does not necessarily determine your inseam length, which is the key factor.

Measure the virtual top tube of your MTB and deducts about 15-25mm and you have the virtual top tube of the road bike. Don't worry about the inches or S,M or L stickers.
