Bianchi Sempre 57 or 59...advice

MickeyTake

Hi all,

I'm 6'1, inside leg 86/87cm. Buying a Bianchi Sempre, looking for advice on sizing. My gut tells me go for a 59 - any advice on this? Different people have advised anywhere between a 57 and a 61.

My current bike (GT series 4) is a 55, the result of an unhelpful LBS that I won't be returning to. Great starter bike, but size makes it not ideal.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Measure the top tube far more important or use this website http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=FIT_CALCULATOR_INTRO

SWL, thanks for the link - I had a look through the different measurement etc - some great info.

Incidentally, it recommended I get a 59, happy with that as I will now proceed to get the nicest bike in the €2000 price range - the Bianchi Sempre Veloce!!

Thanks again!

Hi,

Did you end up buying the 59? How is the fit?

Friend is looking to buy this bike - measurments are
Inside leg >>> 86-87cm or 34”
Height >>> 185.5cm or 73”

As Ace Ventura says, "Like a glove".

If he's a bit smaller than me, might be worth trying a 57
