What size Bike to order.

[Intex]

I will be ordering a ProConnect-S, and since I wioll not be able to try it for size, I was wondering what thoughts you had on which size I should get for a 5'11", 155 lb person with a 32-33" inseam?
50 Cycles recommended a Large, these are the sizes available:

Small 49 cm
Medium 53 cm
Large 57cm
X-Large 61 cm

I dont know if 53cm would be too small?

The 57 cm sounds easily within your reach Intex, but I don't know if the Pro Connect S has a sprung seatpost and that can add a couple of inches.

Even with that though, your seam measurement should still enable you to reach the large 57 cm size.

For comparison, I'm 6'1" with 34" inseam. I ride a 57cm agattu which has the spring seatpost. I have the seat raised about 2".

 

[Intex]

Fecn,
I am not sure I understood you, you are 2-3" taller, do you still think the 57" would fit me?
Thanks

I like small bikes, so I would recommend the 53cm. The proconnect has a sloping frame, I think it is always a nicer to have a longer seatpost. The 53cm will be lighter and easier to handle but the 57cm would also work.
Regards,
Jo

I'm a couple of inches taller, but only 1 inch longer in the leg. I have my seat post adjusted 2 inches up... hence, I reckon the 57cm would be fine for you. The Kalkhoffs are big bikes though and I'm sure that the next size down would also be fine.

I think the Pro-Connect S has a different range of frame sizes from the standard Pro-Connect 45, 50, 55 and 60cm.

This being the case the 55cm frame would probably be best suited to your build.

I am 5' 10" 12st inside leg of 31" and glad I got the Medium 53cm Proconnect as it is just right. I have added a sprung seat post and this has increased the height a little.

Ken,
Thank you for the info- you are right, the ProConnect-S does have different sizing, so would I then be better off with the 55" Frame Size? The next size up would be the 60", maybe too big??

I wonder why 50Cycles does not have a new page up for the "S" Model.

You look much shorter on the Telly...

 

[Stephen-Gately]

Its that lanky streak, Ronan. He wears heels dont you know, to make me look smaller. Incidently 50cycles told him that he was too big for a 61cm frame, so he bought two 45cms and welded them one on top of the other. sorted.

So how many hands high is this horse then? Must be a biggun or your legs would be a dangling!
