Help on a frame size please

Hi all,

new to the forum and probably asking a question that many newcomers do but am looking to get my self a single speed bike.

The one I am looking at has the following dimensions:

Seat tube c to c 52cm and top tube 57cm
I will be using it as a road bike and i'm 5.11

Can anyone let me know if I'm on the right lines with this size?

Thanks in advance

Ride it first. Many many bike shops now stock SS bikes. They can also advise on sizing.

Check out this guy:

singlespeed.angelfire.com

His name's Dani, and he and his friend made a custom-built single speed for me, which is just perfect. Good value for money, and his service is friendly and honest. He is based in SE1.

Email and telephone number are on the website.

Good luck!
