Klein size issue!!

[Jack71]

Hi,

I recently had the luck to purchase a 20 inch Klein Rascal. The only thing is that, I have the impression, that the frame is to small for my length, because I'm 6ft2 (1,88m) So need already a seatpost which at least 34cm long.
So are there other 6ft2 riders, who have a 20inch Klein ride, if yes does it work out?

Thanks already,

Jack

Have you checked the Gallery & Archive Klein section as they will have the size charts.
I think perhaps to small as i had a 19'' and i'm 5 feet 9" depending if you have long legs?

As a potential Klein owner, I find the sizing a real pain.

If you look in the archive, you will find you need a large or even extra large and that typically, they come out in the 21 to 22" range.

The pink/purple Rascal

Jack, think you need a 21" Klein. ia am 6.6ft and ride a 22".
21" are hard to find. The Klein manual mentions recommended lengths with frame size. klein

Maybe wundel.com mighht shine some light?

You can find the Klein manual online or I can pm you one in pdf if you like.

cheers,
Martin

I have an 20" klein Attitude and i am 1,95cm.....You need to measure the inside of your leg, to work out the right size frame for you, if you need some measurements from the frame let me know...

Dear Alias,

The inside of my leg is 83cm. I would be nice if I could make it work. Otherwise i will sell the bike again. And I will try find a 21 or 22 inch rascal/adroit/attitude.

This is how my setup looks like, so you should easily fit your bike.

Jack,

If you make your inseemlength x 0,885 you should have the ideal seatheight measured from center BB to top of the seat.

cheers,
