Just like a dress off the rack, sometimes you’ll get lucky and a stock bike will actually fit you. Here’s a list of the smallest frames that were available when I first built this site in 2009. Unfortunately many are no longer available. Call your local bike store to make sure they have frames with 650 wheels. I will be updating this page in the next few months. Test ride as many bicycles as you can. But, don’t give up on cycling if you can’t find a comfortable stock bike or if a pricey custom frame is outside of your budget. Instead, contact R+E Cycles in Seattle for one of their semi-custom models.
