SamL1220 Posted July 8, 2013 Share You need to check inseam, reach measurements. Go to a bike store, preferably the one you buy spares at and get them to size you onto a frame, it really is a quick process.There has been Qs on this forum previously about this, not a simple answer, without knowing your measurements and the bike your looking at.Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Alternatively book yourself an Ergofit, the basic one which costs about R300-350. The technician then gives you parameters for frame size, crank, stem, setback, handlebar drop etc. you can then get a better idea of what to buy especially when looking at stem length and headtube height so you won't need to change components later.
