Do you have long arms and quite a long upper body ?

 

Or do you pull to the left on the downstroke??

Ok im 1.78 tall, still growing. I phoned LBS and they said i should get a 56cm. Thanks

[Speedi]

You guys are confusing me

 

 

 

Im gonna stick to a 56cm... Thanks for the tips

Speedi, phoning your LBS and telling them your length is very much the same as phoning your doctor and telling him you have a pain in your back and would an Aspro be good enough. You will most likely use a 56cm frame but it is just worth your while to have yourself measured by somebody who knows how to do it. The cost outlay if you buy the wrong frame is just too much. Your LBS most likely used one of the well known formulae and remember that is just a starting point.

 

I can remember my friend Jacobus so well. His Dad bought him a black dikwiel so large he had to cycle standing with one leg through the triangle. His dad said...."Die kind moet die fiets maar ingroei" Maybe that is what you must do!!!!!!!

Speedie, since you live in Seaview I suggest that you see Wayne Pheiffer since he is round the corner from you knows a little about cycling as well. He is a really nice guy and very helpful. you could also go through to Uitenhage and see Steven or Brent at Penford Cycles. If you need there contact details you can PM me.

[Speedi]

[crudmonkey]

Speedi

 

What is your inseam ?

[Speedi]

I dunno! But im getting a 56cm anyway, i cant go smaller...

[crudmonkey]

Somehow I think you should be fine.

[Speedi]

Yeah, look if i get a 54cm it will be too small. So its 56 or 58. And 58 is too big!

[Speedi]

Crudmonkey, thanks for the help! You're the best...
