Subject: Who rides Cervelo??

I am looking to get some info on cervelo sizes. I would  like to know what size bike you ride and what your height and inseam is. I am wondering if I will fit on a 56cm P2C. I am al touch over 5' 11" with a touch under 32" inseam. Help me out please.

5' 11" and have a 32" inseam.  I ride a 56 cm P2C.  

A proper fit will let you know btw.  your torso length and flexibility will probably be the determining factors.

5'10" 32" inseam.  My 55 is probably a little big for me.

6'1 and I tried both the 56'' and 58''. I rode the 58'' first based on my size, but the top tube was too long and 56'' was better fit in the end. Like others mentioned, has to do with torso length just as much as inseam etc. Love my P2SL for the budget I was on. After 7 months of riding, I am now convincing myself into theory of putting $1,500 wheels on a $1,500 bike.

I keep picturing the great minds of people who put expensive rims on their cars worth even less than the rims themselves vs putting money into a better car. Should I save $$$ and just upgrade to better model in a year or so or go for the wheels now??? Hhhmmm....

I was at a Cervelo sizing seminar last week in Longmont, Colorado where Cervelo's (co)President, Phil White, was instructing us dealers on Cervelo fit- in particular, frame size selection based on torso length and overall height.

Based on the concise amount of info you mentioned I think you are on the right track with a 56 cm.

That said, it's no replacement for a good, complete fitting at your local tri-friendly bike fitter. Selecting the right frame size is a very small part of the equation- getting the position right is where the real hands-on work happens.

I'm just under 6', 32" inseam and was just fitted for a P2C 54 @ A3S. WHAT A DIFFERENCE from my size medium Trek E11. In my opionion, go with the smallest size frame that will fit you...

I'm somewhere between 5'11" and 6' with a 32" inseam and have a 56 P2SL - perfect fit for me.  But as the others said a real fitting will tell you for sure.

I am 6 feet tall, weigh 200 lbs, with a 31.5" inseam and I ride a 56cm P2SL.  You would probably ride the same size bike.  But, just to be on the safe side, get yourself measured when you go to your Cervélo dealer to buy the bike.

Go to your local Cervelo dealer and try them out. I am 5'8" 30" inseam and I was going to get a 54 cm frame at first, but after riding the bike the dealer and I agreed that a 56 cm would fit me better. I am now flying past the competion on one fast P2C and I couldn't be happier. Man this is a fast freakin' bike :D

Close here.  I'm 6' 2-1/2" tall, about a 34" inseam, and ride a 61 cm P2 SL Pro Limited Ed.  Fitted very nicely, too!

Personally.. I am 5'10" with a 31" inseam and I ride a 54... might be a smidge large.

Personally, I think you are better getting the smaller size if you are in between.

I'm a 5'8" female. I ride a 51cm P2C. Fits fantastic. I was way too stretched out when I tried the 54cm.

 I am just under 5'6" with a 29" inseam; would you recommend I start with the 48cm or the 51cm P2C frame to begin the fit process?

I am 5'10.5" with a 32" inseam, and I ride a 56cm. I was between a 54 & the 56. The bike fit is great, but I wonder the difference if I had gone with the 54 cm.

6'0, 32 inseam, 58cm P2SL......

And I was fitted by Tom, I didn't even blink at the size, just wrote the check......

I've had some neck issues (craning to look up and ahead) I wonder if it's related to sizing. I put 1,200 miles on it so far this summer/early fall so it's not because I don't ride enough (would love to ride more). Very wide shoulders make me feel like I'm folding inward on the bars too...
