EASY BIKE QUESTION??????!!!!?

Question

Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone out there can help me. I'm trying to buy a bike since I REALLY need one but don't know how big of a frame to get. Can anyone please help me!?! Please? I'm about 5' 7'' and weigh 145 (or somewhere around there). Thank you!!! :)

Answer 1

Go to the bike shop and try finding the right one for your size I think that you would need a 24'' tyre but you can find out when you go because the is also the price range, the look so best check yourself.

Answer 3

This will vary somewhat from company to company (frames fit differently, even at the same size).  I am 5' 9" and use a 54.8cm frame on a Specialized Roubaix.  At 5'7", a 52cm would probably be about right.  But always ride a bike before you buy it and make sure it can be adjusted to fit you.

It all depends on what your trying to accomplish. If you want to learn to do tricks, you need a BMX bike (20 Inch variant). BMX bikes range in size from about 19 inches up to 20.75. If your looking to do tricks, it also depends on what style you want to ride (Street, Vert, Dirt, Flatland). If your going for flatland, go for a smaller frame, preferably one that is designed for that (The frame is much different then standard BMX bikes). Street bikes are pretty common, dirt needs triple wall rims generally, and vert should be a lighter type of bike (NOT a racing bike, you will kill yourself using that on a funbox/ramp). A good bike company is "Eastern", and good parts come from companies such as "Profile" , "Standard", "Pr1mo (It is spelled with a 1, but is pronounced Primo), etc. A decent starter BMX bike will run you around $400, and if you start customizing it with better cranks/drivers (25/10 is the best gear ratio), bars (Depends on what style riding you do), rims (Double walls are the best unless riding dirt), forks, etc. you can wind up spending as much as $1,500.00 or so. My BMX bike has run me up around $1,200 so far, and that doesn't include rubber.

If your looking to ride regularly, but do no tricks, get yourself a mountain bike. Your weight doesn't mean much, but your height does. If your 5'7 you should get a 24" bike. Prior to purchasing it, sit on the bike. If you have some room to maneuver it is just about right, as you should be able to sit comfortably, still reach the ground, and at the same time not have too much leg bend when doing so. A good mountain bike company is "Trek", which is one of the best there is. However, a decent mountain bike can range from $500.00 up to a few thousand.

Answer 5

Answer 6

this seems like a simple question,which is why the WALLYWOOD bikes get it wrong every time, with their "one-size-fits-most" sizing. first, a question for you: what type of riding are you getting the bike for?

road bikes are measured in cm. depending on frame geometry, you could end up on anything from 52-54 cm, or in some cases a medium.

mountain bikes, hybrids an cruisers are measured in inches. figure 15-16 inches, or a medium..
