Pinarello sizing help please?

deepakvrao · Oct 10, 2013

Hi Guys,

I am looking at the FPQuattro and they have 53 and 54.

My current bike which fits me great has a ETT of 54.3 cm, and a head tube of 15 cm. I use 4, 5mm spacers for a good fit, and my saddle is half a cm pushed back.

The 53 Pina has 54.5 and a headtube of 14.4, while the 54 Pina has ETT of 55 and headtube of 15.2.

I was originally looking at the 53, but now am thinking of the 54. A friend says that the 54 is a really big bike, and his partner who is 6'2" rides one. I am only 5'8" but with long legs. Inseam is 82.5cms [32.5 inches]. I think his partner rides a smaller frame for an aggressive fit, while I could have a relaxed fit on the same size.

No chance to try at all, and this will be a online purchase. Suggestions?

Don't buy if you can't try it.
My SO bought me a Dogma and she guessed my size would be the same as my made-to-measure Cinelli. Oops.
Buy a bike from a place that will take returns without quibbling, Competitive Cyclist is one, maybe Glory Cycles as well.

This!

I can't remember how many times I bougt stuff online after reading sizing advice on forums. Almost none of those stuffs were a good fit for me. Nowadays I made it a rule. I never buy before I try.

+2 on the above responses. Maybe the geometry charts will get you close but I would still check it out 1st hand. For me, Rokh 52. Dogma2 51.5 My inseam is right at 30.

Your friend is right. A 54 is a bit large. From what you describe it sounds like the 51.5 would be too small for you but the 54 might be just a tad large.

I hope, it was useful

Added: my heigt is 180 cm, have a bike Merida Ride 88, ETT is 54 cm, handlebar stem is 11 cm, cranks is 175 mm, very comfortable for me. But for speed trainings. For long distance with a backpack I have big hybrid (wheels 700c) with frame size 58 (ETT=58 cm), in last travel 1500 km has no problems
