Trek FX series hybrids, how's the fit?
I'm looking for a bike to set up for winter with fenders and wider tires. I found a 2016 FX7.1 in great shape, but it's a drive for me to go check it out, and it's a 22.5". I'm 5'9", just way too tall for me to consider? I currently ride a 51 cm road bike that feels just a touch small for me.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Probably too big. I ride a '05 7500FX 20" and I am 5'11".

5ft 11 3/4” and I have a 22.5 and I cud have gone smaller but got it used cheap. Got used to it & rides fine feels more relaxed and upright but not slow. Anyway thinking it wud be too big for 5’9” rider trek has an online sizing chart somewhere

Thanks. It looks super clean and they are only asking $100, but yeah, it sounds like it would be too big for me.

I'm 5'-9" and ride a 52cm road bike. I have a 17.5" FX 7.4 that is a great fit. A 22.5" seems like it would be quite large.
