"Pat" wrote in message ... I ride a 55 cm Bianchi Veloce, and my inseam is 32", so I can see where yours would fit you since your legs are shorter. Do you have enough stand-over distance? Preston only mentioned his *trouser* inseam. Given that fashion sense could yield a 3-4"* difference in trouser inseam on the same person, it's not a very useful indicator of anything cycling-related. I would have thought that one these many professional fittings Preston's had would have generated some numbers he could refer to going forward. RichC I do. They're just at home. It's not like the owner of the store last night looked at the back of my pants and selected a bike based on that. He saw me up on the bike, measured things thoroughly. I just don't happen to keep my fit sheet with me 24/7, nor have it memorized. :-) *or more, if the pants my son used to wear when he was in high school are any indication. Their inseam measurement bore no discernable relationship to the actual measurement of any part of his body. Of course not. I was just throwing it out there as the only number I had handy in order to illustrate that I don't have long legs. The legs of my pants regularly wear first (meaning they're well below the top of my shoe). I'm not wearing pants Urkel-style. I definitely wear a solid 30. Preston |
