Now that you have the inseam measurement the next step is looking at the measurements on the bike pages. The most important ones are the "Standover Height" (when buying a Step-Over model) and "Min/Max Seat Height" as these are most applicable to fit onto your bike.

Standover Height: This is the measurement of the lowest part of the bike where you will have to mount to stand over the bike. Generally, you would like this measurement to be at least 1"/25mm less than your inseam length. This will allow you to stand flat-footed on the ground with one leg to either side of the standover when stopped.
Min/Max Seat Height: This measurement describes the highest and lowest level the seat can go from the ground to the top sitting surface of the seat. Depending if you want to be flat-footed OR more on your tip toes at a stop you might need to look at this differently. Generally, the ideal seat/saddle height is 4"-6"/100-150mm taller than your inseam length. You might need to look at this differently depending on being a tall or short person.
- Ideally, the minimum saddle height shouldn't be at the top of your ideal saddle height measurement, it could be too tall. Having some extra room to adjust your saddle down and up will help ensure your ride is comfortable.
- A tall person needs to look at the Max Seat Height. You want to make sure your inseam is within 4"-6"/100-150 of the Max Seat Height. If you need more height on a bike, consider getting a Thudbuster seat post - this can add 4"-6"/100-150 to your maximum seat height.
- A short person needs to look at the Min Seat height. You want to make sure your inseam is approximately 3"/75mm higher than the Min Seat Height stated.
- Note that these measurements aren't an exact science - some bodies are longer or shorter than others.
- Saddle Height: In order to prevent stress injuries to your legs and knees, it's important to position your saddle to the correct height for maximum leg extension on the downstroke. You want to just have your tiptoes touching the ground when you're seated on your saddle. When standing flat-footed on the ground with the bike between your legs, your saddle should be positioned just above the bum.
