How is my fit? Is the bike to big? Thinking about changing from this rose reveal AL 105 57 with 80mm stem and 160mm cranks to a Cube Attain SLX 56 because my reach feels a bit long. It is my first roadbike tho and maybe i am only not used to it. I am 183 with 83.5 inseam
I am thinking about buying my first road or gravel bike. I am not an experienced cyclist.
I am 170cm tall with an inseam of 80cm .
On the pictures i am sitting on a Cube Attain pro in 53 (dark bike), Rose Blend Gravel in S (orange bike) and Rose Blend road in XS (light grey bike).
I know those pictures and my clothes are not ideal. Which frame and size fits me best as far as it is possible to say sonething?
Super grateful for any advice!
My GF is 170cm and just learned how to use a bike. She now thinks about buying a Cube Attain to be able to go on rides with me.
The Cube size calculator proposes either 50 or 53.
On the picture she tested the 53. Does it look like ot should fit or should she go try the 50 (if we find it available somewhere)?
I’d like to buy my girlfriend her first road bike and have decided on a Cube Attain Race. She’s 170 cm tall and I’m torn between frame sizes 50 and 53. She can’t test ride any Attain sized 50 within a 250 km radius. She quickly feels insecure and hasn’t been cycling for very long. On the 53, she felt comfortable during a 5-minute test ride, but the saddle was set far too low to give her confidence, and with her lack of experience, I doubt she can make a valid decision under these conditions.
The 50 might feel safer and more agile for her because she can get on it more easily, but the 53 might be more stable and less agile, and thus also feel safer in another way. Both should fit somehow.
I’m 183cm tall and was able to test ride the 56 and the 58; both are fine, but the 58 feels large, whilst the 56 is significantly more comfortable and sportier.
Which size should I choose for her? I’d be grateful for your help.
