Hi Matthew,
if you are looking at a slopping tup tube frame it will probably come in small, medium and large sizes. You would need either a small or medium, depending on you body length. Go to your local bike shop and try a few bikes and ask what they would recommend.
A smaller frame can be adjusted to fit, a frame that is too large; you just cant ride it.

Hello,
I am about to purchase a specialized tricross comp.
Dimensions in bare feet 8 inches apart
Height 174cm
Height to Sternum Notch – 140.5
Inseam Height allowing for saddle compression -79.5cm
Arm length ribcage to centre of palm – 63.5cm
Weight – 178.5lbs
My question is concerned with the correct bicycle frame size. I have visited 2 specialized dealers ……One of them stating that I should purchase a size 54…….wjile the other states that I should purchase a size 52.
Which of them is correct…..This is a very big purchase for me and I need to get it right!
Can you please advise?
Many Thanks,
Jerry

I’m 5′9″ but have a 30″ inseam. Sooo, long on top and short on bottom. Sizing charts say I should be on a 51 or 52 cm bike, but that doesn’t make sense to me. I think a 54 would be better in the long run with a longer top tube. Your thoughts…also, what length stem??
