BH Volan 4.2 road bike frame size??

skipz · 2009-08-18 09:09:17

Just want to know if a 54cm frame size would be ok for me at 6ft tall? And has anybody bought a BH Volan and would you recomend it?

Could well be OK. Most important dimension is horizontal top tube.

edit: 580mm top tube is on the long side for a 6ft'er. However, the next size down is tiny. At worst, you'll need to run a more forward saddle position and/or shorter stem.

See geometry chart below and this.
