Hybrid bike - best size for me?

Hey guys,

I've not ridden a bike for a long, long time, and am thinking about getting a hybrid bike.

What do you think is the best frame size for a guy who is 5'11 (182cm) and has a 32" inside leg (82cm)

Cheers,

Steve

You have mentioned that you have not ridden a bike for a long time and now you want to get a hybrid bike. I appreciate your desire of getting hybrid bike. I suggest you to have 17 to 19 inches bike forum size & descriptive size should be medium as your height is 5'11''.

You are responding to a six year old question.

Oops I didn't notice it either. I think its a great mistake.
Ja, but to this day not every hybrid is a hybrid. (I mean, I take parts from a road bike and plaster them onto a comfort bike - that I would call a hybrid. And I do that only because the bike feels well then.) Your mileage may vary, though.
