C Model Size Guide
Find Your Size
A bike that fits properly is more fun to ride. The guides below offer size suggestion based on height in inches. If you have measuring tape, you may also determine your size by measuring your leg length plus one inch, which is your stand over measurement. For all bikes, we recommend at least 1 inch of space between you and the top tube of the bike. When in doubt, contact our customer service team via email at customerservice@publicbikes.com.
| PUBLIC C7 24" |
| Frame Size | Rider Height | Effective TT | Standover Height |
| One-Size (24") - 29cm | 4'4" - 4'10" | 48.5cm | 20" |
| PUBLIC C1, C7, C7i, C9, C8i Disc |
| Frame Size | Rider Height | Effective TT | Standover Height |
| Small/Medium - 41cm | 4'10" - 5'5" | 56cm | 22" |
| Medium/Large - 51cm | 5'6" - 5'10" | 58.5cm | 22" |
*Please note: some riders may be a little outside of these height range recommendations but prefer the feel of a larger or smaller bike. Stand over height measurement is not as important as how the bike geometry feels while it is being ridden.

The PUBLIC C7 24” is our newest bike designed for young riders ready to take the next step—venturing out on their first true “adult” bicycle. When it’s time to explore beyond the neighborhood block, the C7 24” is ready and incredibly fun to ride.
Inspired by our best-selling adult PUBLIC C7, the 24” features a classic step-through frame for a comfortable, upright riding position and a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain with enough range to confidently handle neighborhood hills.
Built with durability and quality in mind, this bike includes many of the same thoughtful details found on our full-size models, including color-matched fenders and a chain guard, along with a comfortable vinyl saddle and grips.
Parents appreciate the simple, stylish design and real bike-quality components that are safer and longer-lasting than anything you’ll find at the toy store. The C7 24” is designed for maximum fun and minimal fuss.

Great bike horrible instructions
"The bike is great. Kid loves it. The instructions were terrible. Had to take it and pay for someone to assemble correctly."
My daughter loves this bike!!
"Well made, stylish, and my daughter loves it. If you’re looking for a beach cruiser, your search is over."
Classy bike!
"My daughter LOVES her new bike! The C7 24” fits her so well! She is 4’ 5 so this bike is a good size and allows her to grow with it too. We bought the seafoam color and it pairs well with the thousand helmet adult size small in the rose gold. The sales rep and customer service were very helpful too when answering all questions and also very accommodating. I am looking forward to purchasing a bike for myself with Public bikes in the future!"
Beautiful bike
"A very well-made bike, perfectly suited for my 11 year old."
Very nice so far!
"Very good so far :) the only thing that would be a little nicer is the front sprocket and guard. It's a really nice bike, and the individual I bought it for (4' 8" young adult) loves it!"

"Our kids LOVE their new public bikes. They definitely exceeded my expectations and the quality is amazing. These will be bikes the kids can have for a long time."
Beautiful Bicycle
"Beautiful bicycle! My daughter loves the color and the ease of the ride. She is 4’5” and the bike is a perfect comfortable fit for her. It’s a solid bike design that is high quality and will last her a few more years!"
Q&A
- Hi Can we put a rack??
- The C7 24 is too small to take a bike rack
- Is there a height range or age range for this bike size? I have a just turned 11 yr old daughter who is 4'9.5"
- Yes, above the "Add to Cart" button there is a "Find My Size" clickable button that will show you a sizing chart. The height range for the C7 24 is 4'4"-4'10". At 4'9.5" we would recommend considering a small/medium C7 model as that will start at 4'10" and last longer.
- Can you adjust the height of the handlebars?
- The stem is able to be raised 1-2 inches!
- Is this a steel frame, or aluminum? Thank you.
- Hi Nancy, This frame is made of steel! Thanks!
- Would this work for someone 4’9”?
- Yes, the C7 24" is suggested for riders between the heights of ~ 4'4" - 4"10".
