To choose the correct size of the frame is very important for a comfy ride.
In the old classic bicycles that we recycle for our Palmiras, there are usually just 2 different range of sizes for the low tube frames (Palmira City Baixa), being the sizes of the wheels the determiner of the frame size: 650A and 700c.
For our high tube frame Palmiras (Palmira City Alta and Palmira Commuter) we choose old race frames where there is a wider range of sizes.
In the following table you will see what size of frame we associate to each range height.
