Thanks for your responses so far. My wife helped measure my inseam and we figured it to be around 31 cm. But that number seems low as a chart I looked at on one website said that a person who is 6 feet would have an inseam of 34cm and the frame size should be 58 to 59 cm. It seems so confusing.
My bike inseam is almost the same as yours, and my PSVN at 58 cm is just manageable in height. It is the correct reach (top tube + stem) so I like it. In a perfect world, my road bikes would be 56 cm seat tube, 58+ cm top tube . . . Anyone with a good "bike eye" able to say if the bike the OP is considering is a 58 cm or a 60 cm?
Too small for you. Don't size bikes by your pants inseam- measure the actual distance from the turf to your taint™. Totally guessing but You'd want something north of 20"/56cm as far as sizing goes. it's somewhat of a tradeoff, but the tt length will be worth it even considering the proximity to your gentlemen's vegetables when standing over.
I plan on getting my first bike in over a decade. I went to 2 bike stores and I'm torn on what size Sirrus to get. I'm 5'9" and my inseam is about 30" from the floor to the crown jewels (I hope that's the correct way to measure my inseam!). One guy told me to go with a large Sirrus and the other shop told me that medium would suit me better.
Hello fellow Felt riders! I am curious to know what size frames you are riding and how tall you are (as well as any other measurements you happen to know). I would love your feedback. I ride a 58cm Felt F75 (2007). My measurements: Height: 6 feet (182.2cm, so actually just a shade under 6 feet) Inseam: 35.31 inches. Torso: 23.74.
"Actual" inseam is from crotch to floor. "Clothing" inseam is usually shorter as pants are supposed to "break" on the top of the foot and come down to about an inch above the floor in the back, so as not to drag on the ground. if your jeans are an inch longer than your actual inseam you are rolling your cuffs or walking on them.
For me, at 6' 3/4" tall, with a slightly longer torso, the proper combination of top tube + reach = approximately 68.5 cm. That's for a horizontal top tube, measured center to center, and a handlebar height that's only a few (4-5) centimeters below saddle level. So a 58cm frame size, with a 57 cm top tube, wouild require a 110mm stem ...
QUIT talking about pants inseam - it has nothing to do with your real inseam - which is measured in stocking feet, against a wall, with a book pulled up, tightly, between your legs. With the book also against the wall, mark the level of the top spine of the book. That is your true inseam length.
Your inseam is several inches less, so your pants don't hit the floor. Measure your inseam height correctly (put a broomstick between your legs, parallel with the floor, pull up as far as you can, then measure the height from the top of the stick to the floor with a tape measure, subtract an inch or two, and you've got your standover height.
Yep, I'm only 6' 0" but have a 38in inseam and can ride some 60cm up to 66cm, my custom Strawberry is about 64.5 and was made to still fit when I get older and shrink, become more decrepit, etc. The big silver Merz was the aha bike at 66, got it all dialed in, rode it awhile then "oh crap, I have to quit buying 58, 60, 62 unless something ...
