Hi all, off to Cyprus in May and will be hiring a trek 6000. Hire company has advised a 19.5" for my height thinking that 17.5 will be to small. I'm 5'11 by the way and both my bikes are 18". Are Treks quite compact or come up in someway small size wise?
Cheers

Well I'm 6'3" on a 19.5" Remedy and have a fair bit of seatpost on show to make pedaling OK. So they might be right?

Watch out for virtual and actual
Trek do a 17.5 and an 18.5 in most of their bikes , I would expect the 18.5 to be the correct fit for you if they have it .

It's so subjective, but you'll probably be fine.
