We are so excited to welcome you into the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. There are several factors to consider when choosing your new ride. We highly recommend reading our Bike Buying Guide, along with watching the video. You'll want to consider your preferences on things like frame style and gearing range, and take into account how you'll be using your bike, and on what terrain. We also recommend taking our Bike Finder Quiz which will point you in the right direction based upon your considerations. And finally, it's important to note that bike sizing is not universal across brands, nor across models. Each bike has a unique geometry which means different sizing. Please consult the sizing guide recommendations on each model page. If you have any questions or hesitations, please contact us for personalized guidance and we'd be more than happy to assist!
