59 or 60?

I'm about 6 foot 2

Should I go for a 59cm frame or a 60, or will it not really matter?

Reading conflicting reports of required size(s) on different sites/boards..

thanks

Old school way to determine frame size is to deduct 10" from your inside leg measurement, personally I find 11" from inside leg to be more accurate...

So a 32" inside leg would suit a 22" frame.

Its a very old old way of sizing a bike. Will get you in the ballpark but every bike is different. For a road bike riding it is the best way to tell. The inside leg/height thing takes no account for your reach or flexibility or the purpose you want to use the bike for.

59 or 60?
