    Hi guys,

    i'm looking to buy a Focus road bike from wiggle.
    I'm just under 6' 4" in height.
    Has any one else of similar height bought a 60 Focus frame size, and if so is it a good fit?

    any feedback would be much appreciated.

    thanks

    Probably not a great help but I'm 6ft and ride a 58cm Focus Cayo. It fits fine but would be on the large side if anything. I'd compare the geometry and reach in particular with your current bike if you can/if you have one. Bit of a risk buying online if it is your first bike.

    60 should be fine for you I'm a similiar height - I was going to get the Cayo but its discontinued :(

    If your not sure about the size use the fit calculator here

    I'm probably not going to get the Focus myself now; gonna go with Wheelworx as they size you up for free (usually 90 quid) when you buy a bike from them.
    You've probably seen my threat about the Dolan bike, wondering if anybody has one. They look good so might get one plus the advantage of wheelworx is that you've been sized up/1 year service free and if you've any problems you can always go back to them - buying online can be cheaper but just make sure you know your size. Going by this post you put up your unsure.
    This'll be my first bike so gonna play it safe and pay the few quid extra.

    My 2 cents anyway.

    thanks for the words of advice
    think i'll hold off for a bit and get measured properly before i buy.
    had a racer/tourer before, got stolen, was a good fit for me but i never paid any heed to its measurements!
