Measuring your inseam:
INSIDE LEG LENGTH
The inside leg length is measured as follows:
Bicycle Victoria 30/05/2005 Page 1
• Stand straight up on your bare feet (do not wear any shoes).
• Position the inside of your feet approximately 200 millimetres apart.
• Pull a tube, or the back of a book, firmly to your crutch until you can feel it against the bone.
• Measure the distance from your feet to the top side of the tube or book - both in front of you,
as well as behind you (see drawing)
• The inside leg length in millimetres x .56 will equal your frame size.
