More about overlapping sizes:

A larger frame will always have a slightly taller head tube (between the handlebars and the fork) and therefore this is a more comfortable choice than the smaller alternative.

If you aim for a more aggressive and aerodynamic position you should choose the smaller of the two options and choose a longer stem (by noting this in the comment box at our webshop checkout.

If you have short legs (in relation to your height) you can choose a smaller frame. If you have relatively long legs it would probably be a good idea to consider the larger alternative.

If you select a smaller frame spacers can be added to compensate for the reduced head tube height.

A smaller frame can be ‘extended’ with a longer stem to achieve the right position.

A smaller frame will often be easier to control and have better handling properties. This should be part of the consideration along with the question of comfort.

It is very important that your saddle height and handlebar position fits you. We can help you set this up when you’ve purchased your new bike.

If you are considering a road bike with integrated aero handlebars you should be aware that we will not be able to swap the stem without charge – or raise the handlebar if the bike has internal cable routing through the stem and the head tube.

Also, you can send us info on your inseam measurements along with your order and we will check the fit. (See the article below)

I can fit one of two sizes. Which should I choose?

Contact our customer service and we will help you. The smaller of the two options is often easier to handle and more aerodynamic. And you can compensate using a longer stem.

Do I have to specify the stem length and handlebar width?

If you don’t specify that you want help or if you don’t contact us we will choose our default setup which fits most riders.

What if the bike doesn't fit me?

Then you can have your stem or handlebars replaced. Or you can return the bike within the return period. Please note that integrated aero handlebars for road bikes cannot be changed or adjusted in height free of charge.

I know exactly what I want?

That's great. Just order online, through customer service or from one of our showrooms.

I am in doubt. What do I do?

Feel free to contact our customer service – both before, during or after ordering.

I have ridden my bike for 12 months now and I want a longer stem?

Feel free to contact our customer service – both before, during or after ordering. Often riders will adjust their handlebar height during the season and in accordance with changes in form and ambition. Our guidance is valid for the time of ordering.

When should I get a bike fit?

Most often we recommend having a bike fit done in connection with load injuries or pain in the musculoskeletal system. A bike fit is not crucial to getting a good riding position.

How do I select the correct bike size when ordering from Pronghorn?

1. You can select your size in the webshop when ordering.
2. If you are in doubt you can specify this in the comment box at our webshop checkout and we will contact you before assembling your new bike. (For instance, if you find yourself between two sizes)
3. If you already know that you have particular demands as to stem length and handlebar width you can specify this in the comment box at our webshop checkout.
4. If you already have bike fit data you can send the data to us and we will dial in your bike to fit you perfectly.
5. If you already have a bike that fits you perfectly we can help you measure it so we can set up your new bike using the same measurements as the old one. We can do this via customer service or in a showroom. 

You can use your inseam, Q, to calculate the correct bike size.

Measure your inseam, Q, by standing on the ground without shoes while standing up straight.

You can place a spirit level between your legs. Measure the distance to the ground, Q, from the top side of the spirit level when it is level.

ROAD – SIZE IN CENTIMETERS = Q x 0,66

If your inseam is 87 centimeters the calculation would be: 87 x 0,66 = 57 centimeters.

MTB – SIZE IN INCHES = Q x 0,56 / 2,54

If your inseam is 87 cm the calculation would be: 87 x 0,56 / 2,54 = 19 inches.

If the result fits two sizes?

If you want a sporty and aggressive position on your bike you should go for the smallest of the two alternatives. If you want to sit in a more endurance-oriented upright position which is also easier on your back you should go for the larger option. In both cases we will adjust the stem length and the handlebar height to get the optimal position.

Maybe you have relatively short legs. In this case we will go for the smallest alternative and a slightly longer stem.
