Frame size/fit
« on: January 15, 2015, 02:43:48 PM »
I've been sifting through different threads on this forum trying to figure out what size of frame may be the best for me. Maybe it would not be a bad idea to have a separate thread where owners can list their (bike relevant) body measurements and the type and size of frame they have and how happy they are with their choice. I think this could be helpful for us newbies. I would suggest to keep it very simple and technical. List your type of frame, its size, how tall you are, what is your inseam (standing barefoot, crotch to the floor) and how happy you are with your frame size or whether you would pick a different size next time, plus/minus anything else you feel may be important to know.

Thanks in advance and my apologies if similar theard already exists and I just did not manage to find it yet.

Stem length and offset of the seatpost (if existent) would probably help too.

I own a 15.5 IP057 and IP036 17.5 but the perfect bike for me would be a 16.5.
