How to choose the perfect frame size.

Recently we have had several enquiries about custom built frames. In certain cases, creating your own frame from scratch is rewarding (Reilly frame school) but it can be costly and is by no means essential. 

The late Mark Reilly was a pioneer in frame geometry.  As a keen cyclist, he knew how a frame should work. After 30 years of graft within the cycling industry, this knowledge translated into beautifully engineered frames perfectly sized whatever your shape or height. Reilly frames are still engineered to his precise blueprints. 

Reilly offers frames in seven sizes, each incrementally different. There are very few occasions when one of these frames doesn’t fit a customer. 

We can accommodate riders from 5 foot to 6 foot 6.  Check out our size chart here

Where possible we encourage potential customers to ride one of our demo bikes and discover they are so much more than just a perfectly fitting frame.  Cyclists are real people with dreams and goals. A young aggressive road rider may look to size down as they tuck into their aero position, while a bike packer may need more space on their frame for extra kit. 

Book a demo ride here either at Reilly in Brighton or we can try and get a demo bike to your local store .
