Choosing the frame size for your bicycle

Bicycle frame is one of the most important parts of bicycle to which the other components are fitted. Hence, choosing the right frame size is very essential as it aids in comfortable and better riding experience. During the earlier times, it was much easier to answer the question. However, today with several different types of bikes available in the market, which are used for different purposes, it has become an important question for the bike riders. If you look around, you will find that most people ride small bikes and if you step into a local bike shop, and ask about the bike size, you are likely to hear the answer “small bikes are lighter, stiffer, more maneuverable, and more efficient."

The entire concept of frame size has changed after Japanese have taken over the bicycle market. Today, most of the bicycles are built with "proportional sized" frames. It means that the small size frames have short top tubes and larger the size, bigger is the top tube. Usually when we see a single number listed as a frame's "size", it actually refers to the length of the seat tube. However, unless you know how the frame size is measured, knowing the seat tube frame size numbers is pointless.

There are different frames for different types of bikes in the market, which you can choose from. NgProbike is perhaps one of the best places to buy bicycles, frames and accessories online. They sell products from a large number of manufacturers, providing you with the opportunity to choose the one that best fits your needs. De Rosa r838 frameset is a popular one among the road bikers owing to its lightweight, sturdy built and durability. You can as well buy Ridley Noah SL frame, La Piovra frame and Look 695 Aerolight frame from NgProBike at a reasonable price. These frames are as well good and durable.
