So I'm looking to build up a 'cheap' gravel/commuter bike.
I've found a Hack frame but unsure of how the sizing works - I need a medium.
The one I've found is 56 (54 C-T).
So is this a 54 or 56?
And does that sound like a medium?
From google the following sizes were available:
52cm(50 C-T) 54cm(52 C-T) 56cm(54 C-T) 58cm(56 C-T) 60cm(58 C-T)
I've a smidge under 5'10"
Thanks
Scratch that - found an old size guide, looks like I'd need the 52......
I would think the 56 (54) would be closer just going on my current large Boardman at the same height..
I had a Hack a few years back - 5'7" on a 54, if I were you go for a 56 and watch out for toe overlap, it was dreadful on mine
Gravel bike sizing is odd!!
according to Boardman I need a small...
Planet-X - between M & L
Hack sizing/geo:
size stack reach head angle seat angle
52cm 530 mm 391 mm 73 ° 74 °
54cm 559 mm 392 mm 73 ° 73.5 °
56cm 582 mm 397 mm 73.5 ° 73.25 °
I had a Hack a few years back – 5’7″ on a 54, if I were you go for a 56 and watch out for toe overlap, it was dreadful on mine.
Thanks for the advice - appreciated.
I'm looking to build it with 650b wheels/tyres so might not be too much of an issue (plus I have small feet lol).
