Frame size

OK, now that you have your height and inside leg measurements, it's time to apply them to your bike of choice. The good news is that we have done the hard part for you. Each bike on our website has a recommended height range for each individual frame size (see image). This height range isn't just based upon default factory measurements. We have collated data gained through numerous real-world measurements taken in-store and via test rides.

If you find that you fall between 2 sizes, the general rule of thumb is to opt for the smaller size. Why you may ask? Well, it's because it's generally considered easier to make a bike that's a little small fit than one that's too large. There are certain alterations that you can make to a smaller bike to correct the sizing.

These include: lengthening the stem length, crank length and raising the saddle height. It is much more difficult to adjust a bike that is too large to fit the rider. After all, a seat post can only drop down so far. Whereas fitting too short a stem can result in overly responsive (twitchy) steering.

Alternatively, if you live or work in close proximity to one of our showrooms, we would thoroughly recommend visiting one. In-store, our friendly and knowledgeable experts can help you with everything from picking suitable components to measuring you up on one of our sizing jigs. Using these jigs we can simulate the specific dimensions of frame size and adjust the fit to get it just right for you.

However, if visiting a showroom is not possible, we can also deliver the showroom experience direct to you. Simply connect to one of our Live Instore Experts via a live one-way video call. Our experts can answer any queries you may have, offer advice on sizing and component choices or even provide a product demo of each bike. All from the comfort of your own home, and remember it's completely anonymous. You can see us, but we cannot see you.
