Flight Podium 1 sizing

[fab4272]

Hi all,

Am trying to find a sizing guide for this bike. I'm about 167cm tall. The bike I'm looking at has a seat tube centre crank to seat clamp of 54cm and a top tube of about 54-55cm. I'm think that is just a tad too big for me.

Anyone know of any geometry guides for this bike?

Thanks in advance.

The geometry of Flight Podium 54 can be found in this thread viewtopic.php?t=68953

But numbers are not everything, at 184cm tall, I am happy riding a 53.5 virtual TT, albeit with a 130mm stem.

I'm no expert but I did have a pro bike fit done after I got my Cervelo. I'm 170cm tall and my bike has 53cm effective top tube, 170mm cranks, 80mm stem and feels great. The guy who fitted me said the bike shop was spot on with the frame and stem sizing based on my riding circumstances.

IMO I'd try next size down and see how you go, better to go a little small than too big.

Yeah reckon is going to be too big for you mate. I had a 54cm flight podium 1 and I am 177-178cm with a fairly long reach. I was quite impressed with the bike itself.

Might be showing its age now (was 2012-2013 and didnt make them after that). Prob better fish in the ocean. Try and go 11 speed if you can.
I went from the Flight to a Giant Defy Comp and fell in love with those.
Cheers

Thanks for the input. I think the bike will be too big.
