    You should get at least a 60cm. If you have longer arms or torso, or you like to be stretched out, you might opt for a larger frame, but no larger than a 62cm. The best thing would be to go to your local bike shop and ask them what size you should get. Most of us at my bike shop can simply look at a person and get the right frame. We consider things like height, leg length, arm length, and preferred posture to dial it in even better if that initial assessment was wrong. You should try some new Treks in the shop for size. Trek sizing has stayed fairly consistent, although this years bikes are compact, so the standover height has changed. Nothing is better than riding the bike when determining fit.

    60cm or 62cm. stem length will also make a difference. i would lean toward the 60cm.
