Hi Guys,
I know the matter of sizing has been discussed before and I went through the posts (quite a lot of them regarding fuji vs sizing as well), but I still have some doubt.
It is almost winter in terms of cycling weather and just going to the shop and choosing between 54 and 52 frame is not an option, simply not in stock.
So which one would you reckon would fit me?
I am roughly 5'9" but have probably a bit shorter legs for this height than usual.
I measured the distance of floor to crouch (inside leg height) and it turns out to be between 76-81 cm depending on how I take balls into account:):)
I also ride a Trek road bike which is 56 cm and I believe this is a bit big both in terms standover height and the way bike handles.
I used to race MTB and was using a small frame which felt much more agile than the Trek.
So, should I go for the 54 or 52?
Any ideas?
I will probably order online so can't get a test ride unfortunately.
