Hi Guys,
Just joined the forum...awesome amount of information on here.

I'm just getting into road biking after a few years of mountain biking.

I'm looking at the 2011 Diamondback Podium 4 online as my starter bike, but not sure how to determine the correct size.

I'm 6'11'' with a 31" inseam.

Any suggestions on the best way to figure out what size would be best would be much appreciated.

Ride some bikes.

I don't care what your inseam is.

Was that a typo, or did you actually mean 6'11"? That's a non-normative enough height that you might be able to do it just by going through geometry charts and buying the production bike with the longest effective top tube, out of all brands. It would probably still be a bit small.
