Ridley sizing help

norma2000 · 2013-12-08 13:03:43

can get my hands on a ridley oroin bike but the web site says its a 49....chainreactions. is this a small or extra small cause the ridley site has different sizes etc. im 5'5 but i was told that ridley bikes are larger than most others, so a small is more like a felt medium! cheers...

Ridleys size large so go down a size from what you normally ride.
I'm a medium on most bikes (54cm) but on a Ridley I'm a small.

The Orion 49 is actually a medium, the effective top tube is 54cm, so may be a bit of a stretch at your height. I'm 5'8" and ride a Ridley tempo frame size small and still needed just a 90mm stem.
