EAI Toyo Godzilla sizing help.
Hey guys/gals
K. So there isn't too much written about the toyo Godzilla. There is though quite a bit written about the bareknuckle frames...i've heard that they are similar in sizing...
Please if there is anyone here that has or has ridden one please help me out.
My questions are.
How is the sizing on them?
I'm 5'9 1/2. With a 31 inch inseam. I have no issue with the bianchi pista which is a 53. The seatpost is pretty high and I can ride it comfortably.
If anyone has any exp with the toys please tell.
I've got a really good deal on a 54 Godzilla bit I'm hesitant.
Thanks

Check to see if the geometry of your Pista is close to the Godzilla Toyo.

I was trying to figure this out myself. I have a 53cm 08 Bianchi Pista and it fits perfectly. I'm about 5'8 and my inseam is 30. I think you might need a 52 considering the standover on the 54 Godzilla is 32.25
I just noticed that you said you have your saddlepost high. So the 54 might work, but from my research and from what i've heard the Godzillas run big

Okay.
So I just ordered my frame from my LBS. Got the orange. I opted for the 52 over the 54.
Looked at the geometry of my bianchi pista. The pista is a 53 with a 53.5 TT and a 30.5 stand over, but after doing some research I found that it is actually much closer to a 31.5.
So I went with the 52 toyo godizilla. It has a 31.5 stand over with a 54 TT. COMPARED with the 54 Godzilla that has a 32.5 stand over and a 55 TT. So from what I gathered from people the bareknuckle and the godzilla have very similar if not exact measurements....so I went with the advice of sizing one step down.
My pista fits me very well. So I'm hoping that the 52 Godzilla will fit perfectly and I will just put my seatpost up slightly higher than my pista.
Wish me luck. God it's going to suck if it doesn't fit correctly.
