Hello
I've just been looking at the (old model) Decatholon B Twin Triban 3 I think it is (the red one with carbon forks and rave reviews).
Anyway the only size that's available is 63cm which as doesn't actually feel too bad height wise, just that I could do with an inch off the longest stem known to man.
What do the masses think in terms of having a 63cm bike at my height? Does is sound all wrong?
Advice much appreciated, thanks
Sounds ridiculous.
I would get an experienced bike shop to confirm this and not rely on anecdotal Internet advice.
Depends on your other measurements, I'm sure others will know more than me as I've not long gone to the dark side, but I'm 6'2 and ride a 56. 63 sounds far too big to me!
6'4" here and ride a 60cm. Without looking at geometry etc. I'd say it's possibly on the large size..
It's annoying as if it was a muntin bike I'd know straight away!
I'm just after a dirt cheap road bike and this ere Triban 3 is streets ahead of the nearest rival (Carrera TDF for £250 , in itself probably a bargain but nowhere near as nice as the Triban)
6'2" here with 35" inside leg, ride a 58. 63 would be huuuuuge!
6'1" / 36" leg / 60cm frame
fwiw...
58
Sorry, it's way too big. 58cm and 6'2 here too.
BOOOOO
You're all probably right though 🙁
Thanks , 'twere bargain of the century mind!
