Ride both - ignore Escapee, he is too slow to count. ..

 

Road is different to Mtb. But both are great.

Raydek, try this for a guide, 1 or 2 cm can make a big difference, so make sure you start with the right size.

I'm 190cm with a 34inch inseam, yet all sizing programs/sites give me different frame sizes. Will a few cm in frame size make a big difference?

 

The books give an indication. Only riding will tell.

 

And it is different for every frame geometry and setup...

Eish...both get boring but a mix of the two keeps the balance right.

Take inside leg, multiply with 0.66

i.e. if it is 85cm .66*85 =56 frame

It is a good start.

 

Is the inside leg from the bottom of the ummm..."tjommals" straight down to the ground or don the side of the leg to the ground?

As far as I understand it... Gooch to ground.

Many bike shops have this contraption.

Steps

- stand barefoot on floor. Feet about 20 cm apart

- Take something like a broom stick and "pull up" horizontally along the inside one leg as far as you comfortably can. the top end of the broom diameter to the ground is your measurement.

- If you voice pitch is very high suddenly, you are doing it wrong ...
