FRAME SIZING
When selecting a new bicycle, the correct choice of frame size is a very important safety consideration. To determine the
correct size bicycle for the rider:
• Straddle the assembled bicycle with feet shoulder width apart and flat on the ground
• There must be at least one inch (2.5cm) of clearance between the highest part of the top tube of the bicycle and the
crotch of the rider with the tires properly inflated.
• The minimum inseam for the rider is the highest part of the top tube of the bicycle plus one inch.
CAUTION: For safe and comfortable riding there
should be a clearance of no less than 1 inch between the
inseam area of the intended rider and the top tube of the
bicycle frame, while the rider straddles the bicycle with both
feet flat on the ground.
WARNING: If the bicycle is too large the rider
cannot reach the pedals easily, or the ground when stopping
which may result in loss of control and/or injury.
