I am currently looking at a fixie or something similar to that. But I am not sure how these frames work when it comes to sizing.I ride a Medium on the mountain bike 17"-18" in that area, I am around 1.7m tall, so which size should I be looking at when wanting to buy something similar to these:https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/130378-monster-single-speed-fixie/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/109806-cannondale/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/103722-alpina/Thanks

Eugene Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Just go on to the website for the frame advertised and there will be a geometry chart and most times a sizing chart.All the reliable information you need will be thereThe internet didn't even exist when these frames were made. In fact, with the exception of the Cannondale, these frame manufacturers closed down before internet existed.
TrackGuy Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Awesome thank guys, I shall then be looking at 52-54! Now I just have to wait for the right time and place, and voila!Enjoy the rest of you day and be safe everyone! And don't forget to at least fool one person today, even if it's yourself
