Quick size question

[ryandood]

I am 5'9'', 31ish inseam. I know bike fitment is variable among differing bikes but just to get a general idea, what size road bike do you think I am?

I have an old 54cm road bike that I think fits me but honestly I don't know much about road bikes.

One more; would it be a different size for a CX bike than a road bike? I don't think there would be but what do I know.

Thanks.

I'll venture out there and say a 54cm would probably fit you pretty well.

As far as CX bikes go, their bottom brackets are higher, so they will have shorter seat tubes . So a 54cm road bike may be around the same size as a 50/52cm CX bike.

You and I are nearly the same size, ain't it a bitch shopping for pants with a 31" inseam? I ride a 55cm (c-t) road bike which fits perfect. My cross bike is actually smaller by one size or 2cm, 53cm. It's very common to ride a cross bike one size smaller, the geometry is different. I hope that helps.

I am 5'11 and same 31" also but im on a 56 and it is a good fit. Just stand over the bikes you want and pick it up and see if it fits each bike fits diffrent.
