Hey All,
I've been seeing a few posts about bikes being either too big or too small for them. Thought this link would help slightly, granted its not the most useful in the world as it doesn't have all that many bikes on there. Although it can give the angle your leaning at and the angle your knees at when riding and an indication of whether you'll be able to touch the floor when your sat on the bike.

Hope it helps,
Mike

Surprisingly accurate! I tested it with my current bike and it was pretty much spot on! Thumbs Up

Definitely a good quick check for anyone not in that 'average size bracket' Rolling Eyes

My bike isnt there but I can reach the floor on tiptoes with both feet (just about) and when stopped at the lights with a slight lean of the bike I can put one foot flat.

Does that mean I'm too short for my bike?

No, you're too short for your bike if you can't touch the ground.

Is that not the new 1200 reviewed in MCN (10th November 2010) then? Confused

Listed price is £12995 for anyone feeling flush!! Very Happy
