What is an average height range for a size 19" mountain bike? |
I am selling my bike and the first question that is asked is "I am 5'X", will I fit your bike?" My bike is a size 19(inches) mountain bike and I am 6'1". I just need some help directing these potential buyer whether or not they should waste their (and my) time to meet with me if the bike is too big/small in the first place. Thanks for your help. Be careful about telling someone if the bike will fit. If you say it will and they decide it doesn't they would have grounds to rescind the sale base on your assumption. On EBay many people refer to on-line sizing sites (I don't know any, sorry) But mostly they state: "I'm 6' 1" and I think it fits me fine, but you need to determine size for yourself..." A VERY helpful measurement is stand over height. If you don't mention it, surely you will be asked. Your hight: ===== frame size 5' 8" - 5' 11" =====> 17" - 18" frame 5' 11" - 6' 2" =====>19" - 20" frame 6' 2" - 6' 4" ======> 21" - 22" frame I'm 5'10" and when I was shopping for bikes, I walked into 5 different shops, everyone of them said you need a 19", unless they came in even sizes, then they said 18". You want about 2" of clearance underneath your pubic region standing flat footed over the crossbar; well, actually if you don't want kids, go with 0 to minus 2 inches. I would go to the bike manufacturers site, see if they have recommendations on height for size. Then make the disclaimer of something to the effect of: This manufacturer or size charts state that this bike is ideal for people heights *** to ***, because of differences in leg length and inseam and personal preference, I cannot guarantee that this bike will fit everyone of a certain height". Obviously, they probably won't know if it is not quite the right size if they don't even have an idea what size they need. |
