Felt F5 - Choosing the right size

Posted on
  • Wiggle are selling the F5 for a decent price so thought I might grab one on the cycle scheme.

    I cant work out what size I should go for though.

    I currently ride a 52cm aventon mataro so thought maybe the 51cm would be best but the 54cm is also a possibility based on the below size guides.

    I'm 173cm tall but unsure of my inseam which i will have to measure tonight.

    Any ideas?

  • @Sumo has (had?) this. Felt are quite race geo, long and low. Compare stack and reach inclusive of spacers and stem length/angle.

  • Thanks @amey ! Yes @Sumo did have one so be cool to see what his thoughts are.

    I think I've seen one in at work in the bike room so I might have to be a stalker and fine out who it belongs to

  • I'm about 193, I had a F4 in a 60cm.
    I never got comfortable on it.
    I bought mine from wiggle, just a tip; screen shot the price as when I bought mine it was jumping around in price and they denied this but said they'd honour the price I quoted, if I had evidence. Luckily I did as I'd sent it to my brother!

  • Yeah I have an F5, I'm 6' tall, got the size 56 one. It's long and low, the headtube is 3 cm's shorter that I really need so have to use spacers. Saying that it rides really nice, the handling is great and it's stiff/comfortable/all that shit.

  • Awesome cheers for the info! Looks like I'll get the 51cm.

  • Check the head tube length and compare against the bike you have that fits

  • So after staring at sized guides and doing measurements and not getting anywhere. I realised that my Aventon is a 55 not a 52 and it all make so much more sense. 54cm is going to be ordered.

  • Have you got it yet?

  • Not yet. Only completed the cycle scheme on Friday so it'll be a while. I'm being patient for now.

  • I was going to get the parts for my build through it but didn't have the patience.
