I see. Kent. I am interested in buying for my partner. They are 168cm tall. 81.2 in-seam. Was this frame too big or too small for you?

I am 176 cm and think this would be perfect for me. 168 cm is likely to not work (in my view) but each to their own!

On paper it makes sense for 168cm. 0.67 x 81.2cm (In-seam)= 54.404

I'm 5'1o (178cm) and it was definitely too small for me. The guy I bought it from was 5'8 ish. I've got average length legs, arms and torso. Roughly 32inch inseam.

I thought if I raised the stem I'd get away with it, but my arse was still too high in the air.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
