What is missing is a way to convert your body's geometry to the bike's geometry.
Like, you give it your inseam length (sole to taint) and the highest pull-up bar you can grab without jumping and the site tells you what bike geometry parameters determine the correct bike size for you.
- matsemann 6y agoI wrote a lengthy comment here about bike fitters. They can also help with this. It's however often more complicated than just a few measurements. They often have a special bike where literally everything can be adjusted (google retül bike), and then when the fit is done (~1h) they got lots of parameters that can be put into a DB to spit out bikeframes+gear that will work for the rider. However, my experience is that the system still needs a human expert to verify and tweak the results. However, for a basic fit your method works. For instance when buying a Canyon they ask for your measurements for some things to recommend frame size. But this of course if very rudimentary and already assumes you want that model.
- petre 6y agoGo see a bike fitter before you buy if possible. Totally worth it. Saves you time and money and potential injuries due to improper fit.
