Anything you got please let me know. I’m 5’11’‘, 37’’ inseam, and 60cm torso. THANKS…
Please fellas, budget bikes, I don’t think a $2k bike qualifies under that, plus I only want a frame set. Thanks…
People’s budgets vary pretty drastically on this site. Do you have range that you’d like to stay in??
Maybe an alloy frame under $500.
Take a look at the first picture- might work nicely for you.

+1 on naschwartz’s Raleigh/Easton Fork. With that fork, the price is a smoking deal.
Take a look at the measurements for the medium AC-Tri frame on Valdora’s site and see if you think it would work. I’ve got a frame/fork that I’m selling for $225.

(Seatpost and all components went to new Valdora CF frame, sm size).
I’m 5’11, usually ride a 56cm road frame, and the Med was just a bit too long for me to be comfortable.

Are you sure about that inseam? I’m not sure most tri bikes will be a good fit for you at all.
yes, pretty sure on the 37 inseam, What do you recommend? I know there are way bigger triathletes than myself with incredible bike fits.
It’s not so much the size, but the ratio of your inseam to your height. I’m 5’10" with an inseam of 34.5", and am considered pretty long-legged, short torso. I would think an avg person with a 37" inseam would be much taller, so you are going to find that on a bike that fits your legs, the cockpit is pretty far away or there will be a ton of drop, so you’ll end up doing all kinds of funky things with stems/spacers to get comfy.
thats absolutely insane…im your height…well maybe an inch shorter and i have an inseam 8’’ smaller…wow, i wanna see a pick of your legs lol

I have the bike for you if you don’t mind 650c wheels. It’s probably the only bike I’ve ever purchased that truly fits me.
It’s a 58cm Cervelo P2 classic. The top tube is 55cm, and the seat mast has a minimum height of ~36". I have the same dimensions as you, and it fits me like a glove.
I’ve been planning on building it as a track bike, but I’m a few years out from needing a fixed gear machine, so I’d rather see someone else use it that watch it hang in my shop.
Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll shoot you some pictures.

Sorry man I preffer 700 wheels. Thanks.
I have a Specialized Transition with an alu frame and carbon fork that I’m looking to sell. PM me with your email and I’ll send pics. It’s a 56.
I have a new Kuota K factor size large that is currently a complete bike but would sell just the frameset. Send me a pm if interested.
Thanks

Just looking at your pictures I’d think you’d be better off with a very low HT. your arms are really long too and that effects your position. I think that you are looking for low stack and short reach. check the database (and read the article) and find a frame that is proportioned for you. Otherwise you are not really making an upward move just going with a tri frame.
