1994/5 Bianchi Virata sizing help
Hey there,
I'm essentially a filthy casual, with stronger affinity for mountain biking - so that's the only bike I have. However, I'm looking to add a road bike. I have always been partial to the Bianchis ever since I was a kid, and one is for sale locally. I'm pretty sure it will be too big, but wanted to get some opinions here.
The Virata frame is 53 cm
For reference, my measurements are as follows (tldr, I am a 5'4" female)
Actual Inseam - 75cm
Trunk - 58cm
Forearm - 32cm
Arm - 59cm
Thigh - 49cm
Lower leg - 46cm
Sternal Notch - 131cm
Total height - 162cm
Also for reference my mtb is the Cannondale Trail 6 tango - size medium; I shortened the seat and swapped in a stubby stem to shrink the reach a smidge.
Thanks for any thoughts!
