    Hey, im planning on doing 200K charity cycle in a few months and im looking for a good entry level bike (planning to continue cycling). Ive been looking at second hand but im a bit wary of them and then I saw this one new

    Also the sizing on this bike seems a bit different to most bikes, im 5 8 and I know that a 54cm Trek 1.2 fits so does anyone know what size I need for a Beone.

    Thanks

    5'8'' is around 165cm isn't it? That means according to their chart you'd need a 55cm. I think part of the reason these bikes are on clearance is because they only have the small sizes left in stock.

    Are you referring to the HT in the size guide, thats the head tube length, I know in general I'd be looking at a 52 to 54cm frame but with the compact geometry on this bike I'm unsure.

    50CM will suit 5'8 in a compact geometry frame..
