Which frame size do I need?

When purchasing a bicycle, it is important that you have the correct frame size. A well-fitting bicycle ensures a comfortable and safe sitting position. The frame size says something about the frame height of your bicycle. The frame height is the distance from the bottom bracket to the point on the frame where the seat post comes out, expressed in centimeters.

You can determine the correct frame size yourself on the basis of the following calculation: Measure the inseam without your shoes on. You do this by setting your legs about 15 cm apart and measuring the distance between the ground and cruising height. If you multiply this length in centimeters by 0.68, you get the corresponding frame size.

When you are in between two frame sizes, always choose the smaller size. You can compensate for a smaller size with the height and position of the saddle and handlebars. A slightly too large bicycle can cause complaints in the neck and shoulders. Feel free to let us know – in the order note, for example – if you want us to raise or lower the saddle for you.

The table below roughly shows which frame size is suitable for which body height. For the most part, this gives a reliable picture of which frame size is appropriate.

Note: this table is the guideline for bicycles with 28 inch wheels.
