QuoteFor sure, all bike riders with exactly the same height will require different bicycle frames. On this article we discuss the importance of the geometry when it comes to bike frames. This is the place to stop if you're looking for bicycle frame dimensions.

Looking at a used 19″ Kona Four full suspension mountain bike for my husband. He’s 5’11 3/4″ with a 32″ inseam. Will this be a good fit? If not, what size frame is recommended?

I’m 5 ft 3 in and am in proportion. I do not like to sit upright and like to lean forward a bit on a bike. What size frame would be appropriate? i am a recreational rider.

OfflineHi rhonda, you just have to move your saddle a bit forward and that's it. Frame size will be the same.

Try the above frame size chart from Dave Moulton, I think it is really good! For instance, I have a 32″ inseam, so should theoretically use a 54cm bike. But I’m 5’11″ tall (short legs, long torso), so 54cm is too small for me. By interpolating between the two, I found that a 56cm frame should be about right, and guess what…..it was! :)

I am 6feet 4″ and am looking to buy a mountain bike. It will be mostly used for around my neighbourhood. My general trails will see me cover road, grass, timber decking, a bit of dirt etc…I am looking at a 20″ 2006 Kona Blast Hardtail. It is a used bike but in very good condition. WIll this suit me size wise??? Thanks to anyone who can help..

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??

OfflineHi 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.

@ Rhonda. I am 5'6" and have a 50cm Trek 1000 and 52cm MOTOBECANE VENT NOIR. There is no way for us to tell what you need as each manufacturere has different ways to meassure. Like shoes, you have to try what works for you. I would say 48-49cm.
