Height and Siza

[Prawn]

Some one please help me.

Im 1.76 in height, will a 17.5 frame be to small?

Hi PowerMan, it's not that simple, some brands will fit and some will not fit, most brands have different TT lengths so you have to check each Brand Bike to see if it fits. To complicate it even more within a Brand there are different models bikes which might have different TT lengths.

 

So in short, pic a bike and see which one will fit you.

Hi

 

As Marius says, it is not that simple.

 

I am 1,75m and generally I feel most comfortable on a 17" (I have had loads of MTBs). It would be best to check things out beforehand, maybe find out what the geometry is of the frame and find a bike that is similar (if you cannot source the same model as a full bike)

 

I cannot see a 17.5" being too small for you, but always best to be safe.

 

You sure you measured your height correctly
