Hello!

I've been looking for a Bianchi Sprint now for a long time, and they're all sold out in my country, and can't be ordered. I finally found one in frame size 53, but I'm worried it's gonna be to small for me. I am 180 cm (5'11) tall, with an inseam of around 85 cm (33,4 inches). I like a bit aggressive riding style though. I know my recommended size probably is 55. Can some experienced cyclists please guide me? Will 53 be TOO small?

Thank you for all answers
Chris

I use stack and reach for sizing decisions, since frame size numbers and letters are worthless. If you post your saddle height, it would help, but the 53 has a stack of only 529mm. That's enough for a 72-73cm saddle height. I could ride it, but I'm 12cm shorter. A 57cm is more likely.

Okay, thanks a lot for the answer and explanation! I guess my search continues

I am riding a 53 Bianchi Infinito which I would think is similar in sizing. I am 5’-9” with a 30” inseam. Seems like the 53 would be small for you. In any case I think the Bianchi is a great ride. Best of luck finding one that works for you.

I'm 5'9" with 32.5" inseam and the 53 is even too small for me in the BIanchi. I ride a 55cm Infinito and the size is perfect....

I would recommend the 55 in your case.

I test rode one of these at my LBS while looking for some parts; really nice bike. For reference, I'm 5'10" with a 32.5" inseam.
