Thanks again to anyone attempts to interpret my inept descriptions.
Have had my measurements taken again, and was given the formula they use:
Inseam: 88
Outseam R: 95
Outseam L: 95
Take your inseam and multiply by .885. (88 x .885 = 77.88)
Then take your outseam and subtract the crank length. (95 – 17.5 = 77.5).
The two figures that you come up with should be pretty close to each other (within 2cm), to make sure that you have your measurements right. (So far, so good.) From this, the guy in the store seemed to be able to decide that I would ride a 54cm frame. My question, quite simply, is how?
Sorry to be a nuisance with this, but where I live I can’t just go into a store and sit on a number of different sized P2K frames and decide on the basis of that. I also am on a 55cm (650c) QR Kilo, cannot get comfortable (I have a lot of seat post !!) and have been told that the frame is too small.
Thanks again.
