S Shari Retro Newbie May 31, 2015 #1 Hi all I am getting bored of modern day bikes and fancy buying a old 80s/ 90s Peugeot race bike. I normal take about a 54cm frame on a modern bike I.e. bianchi. Aim 5' 10" with about a 30 inside leg. Wondering what size frame should I be looking for? Thanks for you help

Jonny69 Senior Retro Guru Jun 1, 2015 #4 I'm same height as you but slightly longer leg. Depending on your leg-to-body length ratio you'll want a 21.5" = ~54cm, 22" = 55cm or a 22.5" = ~56cm.
