NEED 44cm Frame
Thread started by

Anyone have a 44cm frame they'd like to sell to me?
My bike has been out of commission and while I have been waiting on parts from Nashbar, I have grown extremely impatient.
All the shops I've called said they'd have to order a frame for me.
Being short has it's disadvantages.

@ JB
Thanks! I am going to look into it.
@KN
I'm 5'1. I fit Sheli's bike pretty well, but I believe it too is 44cm.

Coe coe darling!
We're like the same height, and on some bikes I even fit over a 50cm (like Candy Cane's). Definitely look for stand over height! 42-48 should be good. It's hard to find small frames, but check out Junky Rusty Bikes.

The only 50 I've ever fit over was Candy Cane's. That was almost pushing it though.

You're right my darling Nikki:D
It does depend on the length of your legs as well as your upper half.
Do you have a shorter torso /long legs or long torso/short legs??
I would say try a 45? it might fix a little more snug..
You're ONLY 5'1??
I'm 5 on the dot!!........but I've always felt I was taller... your tiny:D

I've heard this same thing before, but I've never experienced first hand shit with him. What's up with that?
@northernsoulbyrd
Seriously? 47cm and you're 4'11 !!
There's some crazy ass geometry in your frame and your body then, haha!

Youre 4'11 and fit a 47cm? Yea +1 to Chynna... crazy geometry.
I have really short legs.

Checking craigslist NOW.
I contacted the people that JB posted earlier, but the bike is no longer available. Meh.

I'm down! Let me know when you want to go. I am free.
Do you have my number?
Today, I will continue my search. Worst comes to worst, I'll just bite the bullet and special order one.

44cm ftw.
I feel your pain. I'm 4'10 (.5 on a good day) and I needed the smallest bike possible. After looking and being unable to find anything decent in my size I finally bought a bike from bikesdirect.com and even my "extra small" frame is a teeny tiny bit too tall.
Will keep a look out for you!

yeah, my bike is even A LITTLE to tall for me... i'm trading in my 700-28s for some 650s week though and that should do the trick, supposedly. i'm just hoping my pedals don't drag. we'll see what happens! i just don't want my treasure hitting the tube on accident again, lol. it's not cute/fun.
northernsoulbyrd05.29.09 - 9:41 am
reply
At this point my "treasure" is just some spare change and pocket lint, and it's been hit by quite a few tubes of varying sizes.
Hah!
Sorry I've been missing your rides, I been busy, and you've been so diligently posting on my MySpace. So maybe this weekend is the one!
I rode a 43cm with 650s and um, it was crazy. I felt like my face was scraping against the ground. Although, since your frame is bigger, it may not feel that way. Let me know how the 650s go.
I propose a 47cm and under ride.
Also, crazy all the varying inseams to height here. I'm 4'10 with a 28" inseam and been told I have long legs for my height. That was so nice to hear.

Ha! At 5”0’ riding a vintage juvenile sized Univega mixte that had 24"s on it originally, I am totally in for this ride!
Coa-Coa I thought about getting a kilo tt pro recently but a few things kept me from it… you can check out the smaller IRO frames (46cm) but I am not sure what your budget is and what you will be using it for.
hope you find something soon.. miss seeing you around (i haven't been out on the big rides in a while)

let's make it a 49cm and under ride, cuz i know other shorties who ride frames a bit taller than mine! Let's do it. :)
Sunday, I may not even make it to my own ride, lol. My homies have been nagging me to ditch my ride and go to Beat It one of these Sundays. I have to go AT LEAST once before I leave to Portland. If I end up going though, I'll let you know, Liz.

I've also looked a little bit into the IRO heidi as well as the Fuji track, but have never felt set on any.
You should check those out coe coe.

kathryncupcake has a heidi. dual 650s because shes so short. unfortunately she just moved to norcal last week, so you wouldnt be able to ride hers to see if it fits or whatever.
get an iro. you wont be disappointed. stem length and seat post height have just as much to do with proper bike fit as standover height.

That's true. I actually tried out Jessica's Heidi and it felt pretty good. For some reason I decided to just convert my current frame because it has a really good fit, but now I'm reconsidering.

the issue is nicki wanted a bike more as a beater/temporary until she fixed up her roadbike.. kilo tt = cheap.. while building up an iro heidi is like 800/900. although to be hoenst, if i ever went the single speed route i'd def go the heidi route.

can i go to the under 49cm ride, i (technically) ride a 48cm!

YESSS
Nono, I didn't mean the tt is a piece of shit, I meant every other geared/ single bike on CL that's small is a piece of shit.
I found a Pake frame 51cm (too big?) for around $200. Is that good?

Just checked the size of the frame I've got that's gathering dust in my garage. If anyones interested, its a 50.8cm. $25bucks. The guy who sold it to me advertised the wrong size but the drive was long and for $25 bucks I figured why not, but I'll never build it up (had it now for 2 years).
I'll bring it to Choppercabras if you speak up.

I think I might have access to a Kent. I saw the bike and the frame is good but it is made for short people. You might like it, for you, free of charge. Email is lordofwar1234@yahoo.com
