I am desiring to own an Ordinary (high wheel) and would like some sizing help. I am 5’9” and have 30” inseam. Should I be looking for a 50” or a 52” machine? As always thanks for your help.

Hey Ed, the center of the wheel is 25" plus 5" to the pedal on the downstroke. That's 30". Plus more distance to the seat. Go for the 50" wheel.
But then again, inseam is to the cuff, not the bottom of the foot. Best to ride a couple bikes first.
I am 6'-1" with leg length of 34" to the floor and ride 54"-56" wheel. There is some pedal adjustment on the crank arms. Agree that it would be best to try a couple different sizes before buying one. Will also depend on the handle bar shape - straight or cow horn.

I'm 5' 8" with an inseam of 30 inches and ride a 51 inch light Roadster with mustache handlebars that have knee clearance. I actually should ride a (53 - 54 inch)
I also have a 56 inch Expert that I can ride as long as the pedals are adjusted accordingly in the pedal arm slots. The long hammock saddle is also adjusted closer to the backbone so I can reach those pedals!!
