It would help if we knew how tall you are.


Im 5' 10"...... maybe 5' 11"

Weigh 200 lbs..... but have small frame and features. A
bit over weight

Pants leg inseam is 32?

Help any?


If you are still reading, I would say that a 17 is a little small, but
not too small. Your inseam is short for your height, so your torso
length calls for a long stem and riser bars as suggested. Maybe a 120mm
stem and a 2" riser bar would be a good start.

A 32" inseam isn't short for someone 5-10.

I'm a little over 5-8 and my inseam is 32". Don't forget your bicycle
inseam isn't the same thing as your pants size. For your bike inseam,
you are supposed to cram a book into your crotch all the way to the sit
bones and measure the distance to the floor.
