FRAME SIZING:
These are the easiest, fastest ways to figure out what size mountain bike will be perfect for you. If you are looking to ride off road seriously, we recommend a smaller size bike for greater maneuverability and room to move. If you are looking to purchase a bike primarily for commuting / road riding, a bit larger of a bike won't make a difference, maybe will even feel a bit smoother and less twitchy. Frame fit, is very important. After all, if your bike doesn't feel right, if its awkward or uncomfortable, you very well won't even want to ride the thing! What fun is that?
If you have any questions or concerns email us and we'll get you setup. Or better yet, stop by the shop.

| Under 5 '5" |
A 12" or 14" frame would be the best choice for you. For more precise sizing, email us and we will try to figure out what the best size is for you.
|
| 5 '5" - 5 '8" |
The bike / frame size that I would recommend is a 14" or 16". If you have a shorter inseam and a longer torso, right off the bat you should purchase the smaller bike and a longer stem to offset the shorter top tube. If the opposite is true (a longer inseam, shorter torso) I would recommend a larger sized frame / bike with a shorter stem. |
| 5 '8 " - 5 ' 11" |
For you, my friend, a 17" or 18". If you have a shorter inseam and a longer torso, right off the bat you should purchase the smaller bike and a longer stem to offset the shorter top tube. If the opposite is true (a longer inseam, shorter torso) I would recommend a larger sized frame / bike with a shorter stem. |
| 5 '11" - 6 ' 2" |
The optimal frame size that I would recommend is a 19" or 20". If you have a shorter inseam and a longer torso, right off the bat you should purchase the smaller bike and a longer stem to offset the shorter top tube. If the opposite is true (a longer inseam, shorter torso) I would recommend a larger sized frame / bike with a shorter stem.
