Have 56 road cannondale which always felt a touch big to me. 5-9 1/2 tall 32 inseam. 53cm to small?? OR go with 56cm? suggestions?

It's tough to answer since this bicycle would serve best with s pro fitting. Having said that, a cannondale road frame will be longer and more aggressive with respect to geometry; I'd still go with the 56. And assume you may need to adjust the stem length

53 should work, I'm 5' 9'' 32'' ride a 54cm road the 53 Steilacoom seems bigger than my 54.

I purchased the large 20", and I am 211cm (6' 1") tall and have an 81cm (32") inseam. The inseam is the number you want to focus on. You want to make sure that you will be able to comfortably put your feet on the ground while straddling the bike.

It's mainly a question of inseam and ride position. I'm 187cm but have a short inseam. The seat can adjust to a range of sizes but the distance from the seat to the handlebars is not easy to adjust. Up top it's a little cramped for my long torso. My LBS has suggested I get a longer stem to move the handlebars out. Simple answer, get the 58cm but you may have to change the stem.

While it's partially a matter of preference, the chart below should help. I'm 5'8" and ride a 154 cm.http://bicycling.about.com/od/howtoride/a/bike_sizing.htm

you're probably between 47cm and 50cm. The 47cm has a very short top tube, good if you are into an upright riding style or have back issues. Otherwise, pick the 50cm.

go with the 24" unless you are still growing. there is some seat adjustment height in all bikes but this type of bike is an entry level one size fits most model. my suggestion would be to visit a bike shop and see if a 24 or 26 feels better to you. FYI this was purchased for a granddaughter and see is about 5'1" and it fits her fine. good luck and happy trails. the bassetfarm

Slightly complicated question. I'm 6 foot. The seat post is way to short for the frame. The bike rides a bit akward because of this. If you are a male of 5'10" or more you'll wanna replace the seat post, as I did, and bring the seat up so that you can get your legs into the proper pedal position.... Though.... At this point you will find you are up in the air a ways. I got used to this easy and appreciated the advantages of 29" wheels. However.... If you are on the short side you will be breaking new ground and I can't help much there. I have got some comments on just how big the bike is... But then again... All 29ers are. If you are going to put serious miles on this bike try to order a spare bushing for the rear swingarm. And the stock tires wear out REALLY fast. &lt;-easily fixed That being said I've customized out one of these with more money than the purchase cost and I have no regrets.

I'm also 5-10.5 & 33. I'm ordering the 58. My old, heavy Schwinn Continental is a 58, and it's perfect for me. If I were any shorter, the 58 would probably be too big for me. But I like as large a frame as I can handle.

I'm 5'10" with a 31" inseam. I got a 56cm but I really wish I bought a 54cm. This bike runs big. Feels more like a 58. The XL will most likely be way too big for you like the others have said. Awesome bike though! :D

I'm 5'11 and ride a 56 usually, but i like anything from a 54-58. I'd say, if you're 5'11, 58 is on the bigger side of perfect, if you're 6' 58 is perfect.

when I bought this bike, I figured I would need small to medium frame(50cm to 54cm)because I have 28" inseam..With my feet on the ground,I barely clear the top bar..a ebay listing shows the frame to be classed medium(17.5" to 18")

You might have already bought this, but, I'm 5'7, 148lbs. I purchased the medium. It is a hair too big. The 29" tires really help elevate this so it's hard to gage what you would be comfortable with. If I had to purchase again this particular bike, I'd roll with the small.

This bike might be to small for you...This is a medium size bike (M 54 cm) at 6'4" you should be on an XL bike (XL 58 cm).

I am 5'11 so I may not be the best person to answer. I believe there is no problem, I am not using the top saddle height. Being a stationary bike, thesizing is not as critical as for a road bike.

Go with the medium/54cm. I'm 6' tall with a 32" inseam and the 54 is just right.

I've carried size 58 and 61.5 inch road bikes in this case. The 61.5 was a tight fit. Used a zip tie to hold the rear derailleur out of the way.

Yes! This bike is too big for you. Get a 52. 56 is also the length of the seat tube which will put you uncomfortably above the top tube too.
