dude you're 5'7 so you are obviously not XL get a fucking medium 27 or if you are fat a 29. jesus fuck

Why do you have to be such a dick

nobody gives more of a crap about how tall you are than you. Pedal often, be personable, find happiness, you will be fine. Get a bike that fits though, that will help with the happiness part.

6'4" here. Do you know how hard it is to search Craigslist and find a bike that fits me that isn't being price gouged for the uncommon size? If you're 5'7", you're in the prime spot for all the awesome frames. Look harder.

Where are you from? I'll look for you, damnit.

As a big guy you can still make a smaller frame work.

5'6", you're a fucking faggot. And you deserve whatever shit you get in life, holy shit you fucking spineless, sackless manlet. Grow some balls and don't give a shit. You're not gonna grow taller no matter what you do so just accept it and embrace it and quit sucking cock.

That said, you did good to skip out on that bike because as >>1087596 said, that bike is way too fucking huge for you. Get a smaller bike, something that'll actually fit you. I ride an 18" mtb, I find that to be a tad too big still even after fucking with it to fit me better. I already have 1k miles on it and got a good price for it, so I'm just gonna keep riding it, but don't do yourself a disservice and find something that'll fit you nice from the get go. That means skipping out on taller bikes. Get something within your height range or even a little bit smaller if you want max performance. Hell, imo, even if you were tall and fucking 6'9" monster, you'd still be trying to look for a smaller bike for performance reasons.

Start bending your granny back, raising your saddle and slamming your stem with no spacers.
