How to choose the size of your fixie / singlespeed bike frame?
When buying a new bike or frame, there always comes the fundamental question of which size to choose.
The decisive criterion is the size of the crotch , the size of the cyclist is indicative and provides a benchmark by proportionality.
For an urban bike, an adult should find their frame size by applying the formula:
Frame size = Inseam measurement in cm x 0.66
The bike is not just a calculation, the frame size given is indicative, it is better to try to know your frame size.
This gives us the following table:
Rider size | Inseam size | Frame size |
152 to 160cm | About 73cm | 46cm |
160 to 163cm | About 75cm | 48cm |
163 to 167cm | About 77cm | 50cm |
167 to 175cm | About 80cm | 52cm |
175 to 180cm | About 83cm | 54cm |
181 to 182 cm | About 86cm | 56cm |
183 to 189cm | About 90cm | 58cm |
189 to 192cm | About 93cm | 60cm |
192 to 200cm | About 97cm | 62cm |
200cm or more | About 100cm | 64cm |
Frame size is actually the measurement from the bottom bracket spindle to the end of the seat tube .
The rest of the tubes of the bicycle are proportional to the latter, so we can refer to the size of the seat tube to choose a bicycle adapted to its size.
