If you don't want to rely solely on a chart, you can calculate your Colnago bicycle size using a simple formula based on your inseam length. You only need a measuring tape and to follow these steps:

Step 1: measure your inseam

Stand barefoot against the wall, with your legs straight and about 15 cm apart. Use a book or level between your legs, simulating a saddle, and measure from the floor to the superior part of the book. That is your inseam in centimeters.

Step 2: apply the formula

Once you have the measurement, multiply that number by 0.66 to get the ideal frame size (in cm):

Frame size (cm) = Inseam (cm) × 0.66

Practical example

If your inseam measures 78 cm:

78 × 0.66 = 51.48

The recommended size would be a frame of approximately 51-52 cm, equivalent to a size S or M depending on the range of bicycles Specialized.

What if you are between two sizes?

If the calculation gives you an intermediate value, take your riding style into account: for more comfort, choose the larger size; if you want a more aggressive and sporty ride, pick the smaller one.
