So is that a bit on the small side for my mate? 58cm is about 22.5” I think.
I’m 5’8” so this is way outside my own frame of reference :-)

^ what @WimVDD is saying here. That.

I'm 6' 3" and ride a 58cm top tube Marin with a 130mm stem/riser, plus humungous seatpost and it always feels like I'm a couple of cms shy of just right - shoulda got a setback seatpost, d'oh.

(obviously, if you build your mate the same frame with drops, everything changes).

Cheers all. I reckon this frame I have my eye on would work. It’s going to be a pootler so it sounds like it should work ok with an upright position. It’s also bright pink, which lets face it, is more important than the bike fitting him...
