Hi, I'am 5'1 female , its my first time buying a road bike should I get the 48cm or the xtra small 41 cm?

My gf is 5'2" and I think we used the size chart to decide on the small for her. If riding competitively I would say go bigger. If its a matter of price and you just ride leisurely, I would say the xs should suffice.

I'm 5'3 and got the 41cm bike because whenever I tried at other bikes, I could hardly stand. This is much more comfortable for size.

my daughter is a tall4 year old and she is prob 6 months away from needing a 18 inch bike. sounds to me like you would be better off with a 18 inch

Based on what I have been told by my local bike shop, the usual problem with finding the right size bike for a woman is the length from the seat to the handle bars. Which can usually be changed by using a shorter (front to back) handle bar post/holder(?). (horizontal part at the top of the stem) You might want to ask your local shop if they carry those and can install one for you. if you have longer arms that it shouldn't be an issue, if you are very short/ have a short reach you might want to take the measurements and find a similar sized one and see if it fits you. Most bike shops are very happy to have you check out their bikes, even if you're not buying. This really is a great bike for the price. Hope that helps.

I am 5'9" and I bought the Large Bike. I should have bought the Medium Bike, because the distance from the seat to the handle bars is a stretch for me.

Hi, It really has to do with your body size and what you are comfortable straddling. Per the Montague website - - Bike Sizing: 18in Frame: 5'3" - 5'10" Standover height 30" 20in Frame: 5'11" - 6'4" Standover height 31" ====== I am 5'7" with short legs and the 18 inch one works fine for me. The "stand-over height" of 30 and 31 inches, respectively can be a good clue. Measure the height from the floor to the top of the cross-bar on a mountain bike you feel comfortable riding (or straddling at a bike shop, if you have none). See if that offers any answers.

While it's partially a matter of preference, the chart below should help. I'm 5'8" and ride a 154 cm.http://bicycling.about.com/od/howtoride/a/bike_sizing.htm

I also was concerning about the height of the bike since I'm 5'2". It's a comfortable ride and I'm thrilled I purchased the Midmoor. Hope your wife enjoys the bike as much as I do!

If your going to be hitting a lot of bumps, I'd go for a straight mountain or a cross bike. This bike is more of a street bike and the skinny tires do not like potholes. Other than that, I like it a lot. And for you the 50cm.

I'm not completely familiar with thier bikes, but typically the 50cm is the frame size fit for 5'2"-5'9" males and there is the 55cm fit for taller men. But as for the 20cm, I'm guessing that's a typo?The important difference between frame size is the hight of the bike - from your seat to the floor. And the length of the bike - from the seat to the handlebars. Hope this helps.

This bike might be to small for you...This is a medium size bike (M 54 cm) at 6'4" you should be on an XL bike (XL 58 cm).

You can go online and fine a sizing chart for road bikes. I'm not sure that any of these would be quite small enough for you, maybe the XS

That will probably be a little too small for you. I'm 5' 8" and I rode the 53cm comfortably. You probably don't want to go any smaller than the 49cm at your height.

I am 5'2" and the small was not too big if that is what you are worried about. I sometimes wish I had test rode the small and medium before buying one but I am on the heavier side and I think if I was thinner the small would be perfect. Hope this helps!!

My wife is 5'4 and it's about right for her. The tires are pretty standard comfort bike width. Narrower than a mountain bike but definitely not a road bike by any stretch. Maybe go to a department store or local bike shop and see what size works for you if you're worried.

It depends on your insesm length. Look at the standover height in the bike's specs & chose the size thst is 5 cm shorter than your inseam. You'd probably need a small or medium.

I think the 40" would be best for your wife (for the driver). It would be good for your iron practice though. I got both, so get the 40" first to please the boss and later get the 48" for your driver practice. I really enjoy swinging these every morning and then some clubs on a practice mat. Include some stretching and a push up routine and there's your workout.

You're riding on street right? I would assume since you're looking for a road bike. I owned one for awhile. When I first got it, the rim was bent, contacted amazon, the shipped a new bike out and told me to take what I needed and ship it back. If you're tall, it may be a little to small. I'm 5ft 11 and it was fine for me. The only issue is the pedals are kinda low, so if you take a sharp turn and your foot is extended all the way your pedal will hit the asphalt. If I were you, I would save up extra $$ and get a better bike. It's a decent bike but you spend a few hundred more and get a lot better bike.
