<\/p>\n

I got the very first batch of the Garden City, 2 years ago. Of course I didn’t know that our collaboration would be a thing. I’m considering buying the same frame in a different color for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n

I’d like to write about the fit of this bike for your reference.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My (Digi) Spec : Height 163cm, PBH 76mm, saddle height 65cm<\/p>\n

I chose the small frame size. (the saddle hight is in the height listed above)<\/p>\n

Looking at the standover height in the geometry<\/a> , which is one of the key elements to choosing a frame size, the small size has a\u00a0 764mm standover height. This is very close to me not being able ride this bike.<\/p>\n

But I couldn’t resist and I don’t have any regrets on getting this bike.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This frame has a longer top tube than a typical track bike frame. I built it with a riser bar but I used a 100mm stem, since I wanted to prioritize the aesthetics. I’d be leaning too much forward, so I put on a stem that faces up. An 80 or 90mm stem would be perfect though.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanks to the fork offset, the front center is slightly longer, and there\u2019s plenty of toe clearance, so even if you\u2019re like me, riding a fixed-gear bike for the first time in a while, or if you\u2019re a complete beginner, you\u2019re unlikely to have that scary moment where your toes accidentally hit the front tire.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ve owned a Road Logic 51 before and I think it has a similar fit. I chose the 51 from looking at the height range reference from Ritchey’s website, but it was a bit big for me so I swapped all the parts onto another bike.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Long story short, yes, the bike is too big for me and I know some would say \u201cYou can’t even ride a bike in your own size even when you’re working in the industry?” But I REALLY wanted this bike so please, give me some slack.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, when I checked the product page on our online store, it said \u201c165-\u201d for size S, which really made me think, \u201cThat\u2019s spot-on. I\u2019d say size S should fit people up to about 170 cm. (Of course, it depends on your body type.)<\/p>\n

That said, this is just a \u201cguide”, so feel free to ask if you have any questions about sizing. I\u2019m aware that my own size is a bit on the larger side, so I think I can offer some helpful advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":178660,"template":"","better_featured_image":{"id":178660,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1024,"height":683,"file":"2026\/06\/54065751680_9dcaf84919_b.jpg","filesize":215905,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"54065751680_9dcaf84919_b-768x512.jpg","width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":50449,"source_url":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/54065751680_9dcaf84919_b-768x512.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":178658,"source_url":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/54065751680_9dcaf84919_b.jpg"},"acf":{"not_to_displayed_on_top":true,"ctm-post-priority":"0"},"post-meta-fields":{"_edit_lock":["1782719065:48"],"_edit_last":["48"],"not_to_displayed_on_top":["1"],"_not_to_displayed_on_top":["field_6944f0f6461a3"],"ctm-post-priority":["0"],"_ctm-post-priority":["field_6522836fa8f5e"],"pp_checklist_custom_item_jlhhonippgapjyw":["yes"],"_my_meta_value_key":["[{\"pid\":51153,\"name\":\"*RITCHEY\u00d7BLUE LUG* garden city frame BL20th\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.tsubasa-jp.pro\/ritchey-garden-city-frame-bl20th.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.tsubasa-jp.pro\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/3523710a6209bf43bdc4af034e5e9b62\/1\/d\/1dsc08353i.jpg\"}]"],"_thumbnail_id":["178660"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global\/178872"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review-global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tsubasa-jp.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
