Orbea Oiz Sizing

[Bike Mob]

Has anybody got an Orbea Oiz... I would like to buy a frame for my wife who is 5'4 tall or 162cm.

 

There site says they only have a small that is 17 inches. This sounds too big if it's going to be a full size male frame. Has anyone got any feedback for me? will the 17" work?

 

Otherwise I'll have to look into the Giant Anthem...

Orbeaorca, how can you be riding a small at 176cm? I'm also 176 and ride a Medium oiz rather comfortably. The small has a bent top tube, ala Scalpel. The M has the straight top tube.

Tarmac, I have two pretty short mates (one of them is Mark Weedall) that ride smalls and the fit is perfect.

Here's a pic Etienne's small... btw, this frame is "one up" on the oiz, scandium frameset without the bend but gussetted (can't remember the name though)

hi buff

 

if your shorter friends are fine on the bikethen it answers tarmac questions.

 

for my self i chose the small.

1. i like the bend

2. its closer to the ground because i keep falling

3. Actually i have proportionately a smaller upper body and arms. I have had reach probs in the past.

 

the bike fits me fine and i am not cramped in the least

 

I think your friend has the UFO model and i dig it.

 

Once you have a orbea you want more

Steven has really helped, I'm going to measure her up and see if the top tube will be too long.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

if she doesnt fit...I guess I'll have a new frame too!! hahaha
