I am 5'4"-5'5", 127lbs. Is this a good size frame for me and is it a good deal? would like to know soon cause I want to purchase it asap. i use to ride a 2007 Trek roadie but sold it for financial problems but would like to try a fixie. Sorry for the newbie questions.

^why you gotta steal my thunder

I love you, does that make youf eel better?

well i'll try to help you out.

for yoru bike size... figure out what your inseem.

its usually where the bike seat will be

so have someone measure the distance from a makeshift seat to the floor.. while going along your leg.

Multiply your inseam by .65. This will give you a good estimate of you road bike size for bikes measured center to center. Thus if your inseam is 86 cm, you will fit a 56cm road bike (86 x .65 = 55.9). Note that many road bikes are measured center to top. To determine how to fit these bikes, multiply your inseam by .67.

jacked from ehow.

if you go to a biek shop they'll help ya out :)

i <3 you feel better

well I don't really have a correct measuring tool besides an architectural ruler

so i measured my jeans and myself, which is an approximation

the lower is 29 inches - 31 inches and after multiplying each result by .65 cm,

i found out that the mean of those results was a 49.94 cm.

I guess it fits me!

is it worth the price?

bumping for help again

just want to know if its worth buying a 2006 bianchi pista for $250.

and if a 49cm would fit comfortably for a 5'4"-5'5" guy with 29-30.5" inseam

if its in pretty decent condition, complete. yes.

heck the frame you could probably sell for that much if its in good condition.

i'd buy it and it seems like the right size (maybe a little small.)
