    Okay, I'm buying a Mercier Kilo TT.

    I'm about 6'1"

    I'm going to buy a 57 cm.

    Is that a good size?

    My bike shop said a 58-59 cm should do me well, but Mercier doesn't make those sizes.

    Anyone my height have a 57 Mercier?

    I just bought a 53 and I usually ride 56 or bigger. BD has a conversion chart as well. Also, if you have a bike shop around you that sells KHS, you can size yourself on one of those. Apparently they are the same frame.

    The fact of the matter is no one can accurately fit you for a bike on the Internet but I can tell you that given the size choices Mercier offers a 57cm will probably suit you best. I'm about 6'0" and my 57cm fits me great. I have short legs and a long torso for my height so I had to do some adjusting as far as my stem length and seat height but I eventually got my bike set up perfectly. Since you're 6'1" I'm guessing a 61cm would be way big for you. This just my opninion.

    i say the 55. the 57 is measured ctc, which means it is actually a 59. i would go with a 55. it measures 57ctc. you'll have about 8" of post showing.
