Subject: Softride
There is a Softride that has popped up on Craigslist that I might be interested in; it is a size large. I am aware of their history and some of the concerns you need to be mindful of if you invest in a Softride, but I am worried about fit. I have read that they have a great deal of adjustability, but I am worried the bike is going to be to big for me.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might go about evaluating if this bike would fit me?

Thanks,
Matt

How tall are you? How much do you weigh? I'd ask the seller how tall he is and his inseam to see if it is close to yours.

I have a small which is typical size I ride in bikes realizing that sizing can be all over the place ie not all small are the same size.

Weight effects the beam drop so it is a consideration beyond just height.

Thanks for the thoughts, Kathy. I have been digging around all afternoon on the internet, and I think it is probably too big.

I am 5'11", and around 33.5" inseam. I weight 177.

It seems most people riding a large are over 6'.
