| Re: Bike size ??
I am not sure how to measure but from center of the crank to center of top
tube is 19" and I am almost 5'9".
The bike store said I could put on a shorter head set, my legs are long
enough no problem. I am keeping it as is. It is a GT Avalanche 2006 disc
bike. They call it Large. Which is great cause I am use to road bikes
where stretching is better anyway.
A previous bike shop sold me a bike slightly too small. 18" I believe.
Felt like I was riding a tricycle. Had the head set changed to 5 or 6"
longer forward stem but it is not the same as a proper fit bike which I
tried to tell them in the first place. All I got was double talk and no
guarantee.
I have a 59cm road bike which people over 6 ft would be riding. Does not
bother me at all.
If he sent you his leg, arm, back length you might have a better foundation
to theororize with.
