    Hi All,
    I am a 5 foot 7 inch gent looking to buy a bike for around town, the bike in question is described at large with 26 inch wheels, is this bike too big for me? I am looking to buy an old fashioned bike i.e. black with leather saddle, white mud guard at rear etc, would anybody know where in Dublin area I could buy? Thanks in advance.

    Hey, try this site

    This seems to be fairly good to me anyway. If your going for a Trek or Giant Road bike, their sizes dont exactly match up. A medium in Giant, is equilivant to a large in Trek me thinks..

    Whats the bike brand? Most brands have size guides. For example Felt or Giant.

    At 5'7 I would guess you're in the medium range of most brands.
