what size is your bike should be?

SizeMyBike computes the optimal geometry of your road or mountain bike's frame that is ideal to your morphology. Six body measurements (height, inseam, sternum, arm length, foot length, and shoulder width) allow for an accurate computation of the best geometry. This information is useful in choosing the right frame size and obtaining an excellent adjustment for your bike.

Cinelli GAZZETTA Track Frameset!



Cinelli GAZZETTA Track Frameset

Features:

Cinelli's new minimal, eye-catching steel track frame:
  • The micro-welded TIG junction and solid Columbus cromoly tubes make this frame strong and reliable in every condition.
  • Classic track construction in all the details: round seat stays and real track geometry.
  • Unique to its market the Gazzetta is equipped with a traditional MTB style segmented fork (but with track correct 32 mm rake) which we believe has absolutely the best technical qualities for the demands of fast and ambitious urban and amateur track cycling.
  • The look: minimal, but not simply retro, a wild selection of "neo-pop" colours open this frame up to a myriad of art-tech customizations.
Technical details:
  • SIZES : 50-52-54-56-58-60cm
  • FRAME: CLOUMBUS steel
  • FORK: CLOUMBUS steel 1.1/8inch
  • Seat post: Dia. 27.2mm

    Fu Manchu Fork Order Now!





    .........................................................................................................

    Fu Manchu Fork

    When we first introduced our Cutter frame/ fork, the most common question asked was "can it barspin?" We really didn't want to change the frame geometry, since we wanted the traditional angles.We realized that the fork had a lot to do with the tire clearing the downtube. Our main goal with the Fu Manchu fork was to have clearance on every size frame we make and to make it strong enough for it to take the abuse of the modern day fixed gear rider.

    Specs:
    Steerer Tube: 1-1/8" & 1" Threadless
    Steerer Tube Length: 300.0 mm
    Fork Rake: 32.0 mm

    CUTTER-V5

    Fixed Gear Frame with BMX Strength

    What started off as a sample for ourselves here at the office has turned into something we'd never expect; the go-to trick frame for fixed gear riders. Our number one goal for the Cutter from day one was to use as a commuter bike and maybe jump some curb cuts in the process (stick a BMXer on any bike and they'll just have to do tricks on it). What we didn't know was that no other company has used the same tubing and heat treatments as BMX companies do for their fixed gear frames.

    We're firm believers that you have to trust what's between your legs. Ask any BMX pro if they'll ride a ti or aluminum frame and you'll get the same answer. "No way". With the tubing we use, you can count on the frame not breaking. Whether you're using the Cutter for road use or doing tricks on, we are confident to say that it's one of the toughest fixed gear frames in the market. We're so confident that we backed the Cutter with a lifetime warranty.

    Sizing: We recommend all customers ride the Cutter before making a purchase. A lot of frames differ from the next on sizing. A lot of customers who buy the Cutter use it for tricks and want the size down from the recommended size we give them. Most want a smaller frame for maneuverability reasons. Click here for a "normal" road sizing chart.

    Cutter V5 now features longer dropout slots w/ VBC speaker stamped caps, hour glass HT w/ VBC speaker cut out, all new ST-Clamp, new stickers and all new colors.
