Bike frame size?

Question

I am 5"3. Is an 18 inch frame size a perfect size for my height? Thank you

Answer 1

nope, 16 inches is the perfect size for you.

17,17.5 and 18 are for those 5'7" to 5'8" in height.

19' to 19'5" are for tall guys.

Answer 2

not really a 20 inch bike would be better but if u put ur forearm on the top tube elbow touching the seat post and ur fingers at the end of the top tube

Answer 3

'arianov' is right.

Most likely the bike you're looking at is a mountain bike, since those tend to be measured in inches.

At 5'3", you might be able to 'ride' an 18" but it is definitely to going to be to tall of a straddle height to be safe, esp. if you were to slip off the seat.

A frame around 16, if not a 15 would be ideal for you.

Get out and ride!

Answer 4

If your talking MTB and you want to do some hard trail riding you should be on a 15" frame max. If you're still growing maybe a 16" so it'll last your a while. If your using it for general street riding a little bigger is OK but an 18" is too big for you now. I'm 5-10 and ride a 17.5 as do most XC riders I know at my height.

If your talking hybrid bike it would be close.
