    Quick question, just looking for a quick answer.

    I'm intending on buying a road bike. I'm 5'8", not sure of my leg length but It's proportional to my height. What size frame is most suitable?

    Thanks.

    I'd estimate 54/52cm frame would be close your size

    The bike shop should help you with that, your height will not be the only determining factor in the bike size you buy, leg measurement is also important, 2 guys of the same height probably have different leg measurements, as is how you set up the bike.
    A chat with a good bike shop owner will sort it for ya.
