Ok, you are fairly tall and with that inseam of 80cms it might be a little small, you might need the next size up, but for the price and just to get you on riding a nice bike, you will have to put the saddle fairly high......good luck.....have fun.

Hi Mark,

I'm 187cm tall with a similar inside leg measurement. I have a Giant Defy 2 with a frame size of 55.5cm. Not sure whether it'll be the right size for you, but do remember that frame size also affects the rest of the geometry of the bike.
But at that price, sounds like a bargain!!

Agree nice bike but does sound a bit small. Go into a Giant LBS and get fitted. Similar to Bec I'm 168cm and ride a 50cm Cannondale (48cm Colnago).

Yeah dude from the sounds of things this bike will be too small.

Which is shame!

But don't fool yourself: a cheap bike that fits will be better / faster / more comfortable and used more often than a really expensive bike that doesn't fit.

Fit is paramount.
