CITY
— The size is measured in inches as the distance from the
center of the carriage to the top edge of the seatpost. The
length of the remaining pipes proportionally corresponds
to the size. Make sure the bike fits your size. A bike that
is too big or too small is difficult to drive, so it can be
uncomfortable.
— In order for the bike to suit you, the distance between the
upper tube and the groin should be (while you must stand
above the bike without taking your heels off the floor):
— For driving on asphalt: 3-5 cm
— Fordriving on unpaved roads: 5-8 cm
— For cross country driving: 10 cm and more
Model Discipline
— This rule may be violated for some city and tourist bikes, which may allow less clearance
between the upper tube of the frame and the groin of the cyclist, as well as for bikes with a
beveled or bent upper tube of the frame.
