Sizing & Fit

Claud Butler guide for 700c wheels: 18-inch frame — 163–173cm (5ft 4in–5ft 8in); 20-inch — 170–183cm (5ft 7in–6ft); 22-inch — 178–191cm (5ft 10in–6ft 3in). The overlapping recommendations allow for different proportions and preferred riding positions.

Rider-height ranges are guides, not a guarantee of fit. Check inside leg, standover clearance, reach to the bars and brakes, and safe control before riding. Contact North Sports if between sizes.

Delivery & Assembly

North Sports currently displays an estimated 3–5-day delivery window; this depends on supplier stock, destination and the option selected at checkout. Standard direct-delivery pedal bikes may arrive boxed and approximately 85% assembled. Final assembly, adjustment and a full pre-ride safety check should be completed by a competent bicycle mechanic before use. An optional assembly service is flagged for this product; confirm the price and delivery arrangements at checkout rather than assuming it is included.
