Clazst Posted October 3, 2017 Share I was wondering about the size of road bike. My height is 170cm and which size it suit to my height? 55cm or less or more. I'm not too sure and need your help and advise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted October 3, 2017 Share Hi, It is brand specific, but at 170cm you will most likely ride a SMALL frame which should be 52cm-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too sure and need your help and advise. Thanks Go for bike fit (The ones that have dedicated bike fitting bike) , then take your measurements and look it up on the manufacturers Geometry charts and get the right size. Road bikes are far more sensitive to sizing than MTB and each manufacturer measures differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shell Belle Posted October 3, 2017 Share I am 168cm and ride a 52cm (small). I would certainly not go bigger than 55cm at your height - you are most likely the same size as me. Most brands have size charts which would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted October 3, 2017 Share Check the manufacturer sites for geometry specs etc. IIRC, most list height ranges at the top. Chances are, unless you have abnormally long or short legs/torso, the bike that fits your height will be the right size. Tweaks can be made to stems or seatpost layback, but you'll be mostly there AFAIK. Once you know what geometry works for you (thinking reach and stack here), it'll make shopping easier. But go for a bike fit. I found it to be the best money I spent on anything bike-related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
