It is important to use the correct chart based on bike type and gender to ensure the perfect fit.

For a mountain bike you are good with frame sizes.
Alternatively skip ahead and use the bike size calculator to find the right size and type of bike for you.
Bike frame sizes are measured in the same way for all styles of bicycle.
First consider what kind of bike you want sizing varies greatly between road and mountain bikes as well as between men s and women s models and even between.
However bike frames are measured in centimeters as i have stated earlier in the text.
To measure your bike s frame size take a measuring tape and place the tape in the center bolt of your bike s cranks.
That offers a greater fit range for all riders and smaller incremental changes between sizes provides a more precise fit for any single rider.
I hope this helps.
Consider the bike type.
The chart above clearly shows different heights with corresponding frame sizes.
If it is just the frame this will be the center point in the bottom bracket shell.
For a road bike you are good with frame sizes 51 52 53 cm which are all under the small category.
