As a long time cyclist, I know that determining someone's height based on the size of bike that they ride is doomed to failure. It is highly dependent on many other factors including arm and leg length as well as personal preference. I am only 5'7" and have ridden a 54 cm bike all my adult life. I once lent one of my bikes to a six-footer and the fit was about right for him without even raising the saddle--the reach even looked a little long. He is Asian and has short legs and arms. By contrast, I have long arms and long legs, so I ride a bike that might seem a little large for me.

Just been on a trek bike fit course (Im now a qualified bike fitter) The instructor said lance rides a 58 (why would somebody lie about that?). He has a 5.5 cm drop from saddle to bars,I ride a 5'8 madone and im 6ft, I do have more post showing than lance though, I'd say he could be 5'10 or slightly under. Jardin says on 18/Nov/11
Met Lance as he was leaving Nike store on 57th st. in n.y.c. Shook his hand. I'm 5'9 1/3". Lance is 5'8" most. Markus says on 14/Sep/11
Frame height doesn't say everything. The guy's got shorter legs compared to his back, so he doesn't need a big bikeframe. Also most pro riders sit quite low on their bikes.

He looks a bit taller than Cavendish who's 5'9".
And about 3" taller than Leipheimer who's 5'7".
Taller guys like Andy Schleck and Cancellera (both claimed 6'1" although Schleck looks taller.) don't dwarf him. I'd say around 5'9" - 5'10 is accurate. no way says on 29/Jul/11
no way he rides a 58 frame. I've seen his bikes and they are tiny. 54 at most. i'd say he is 5'6" at best. Will says on 22/Mar/11
Lance Armstrong is at least 5'10" tall. bellman3000 says on 27/Jan/11
no way. i am 5'7" and have seen him on more than one occasion. the first thing i remember thinking when seeing him is that he was barely taller than me. in my opinion, he is max 5'8" Reid Rothschild says on 6/Jan/11
Armstrong is about to be indicted by Federal Prosecutors. An article in Sports Illustrated is coming out 1/18/11. Liestrong fibs about everything else, why wouldn't he lie about his height. He's just under 5'8." |
