V 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 V1, V7, V7i |
| Frame Size | Rider Height | Effective TT | Standover Height |
| Small/Medium - 46cm | 5'2" - 5'8" | 55.8cm | 29.5" |
| Medium/Large - 54.5cm | 5'9" - 6'3" | 58.9cm | 32" |
| PUBLIC V9 Aluminum |
| Frame Size | Rider Height | Effective TT | Standover Height |
| Small - 46cm | 5'3" - 5'6" | 55cm | 29.5" |

| Large - 56cm | 5'11" - 6'3" | 60cm | 32.5" |
*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.
Shipping and Assembly
The PUBLIC V7 is our most popular—and most affordable—multi-speed diamond frame bike for good reason. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade to dependable urban transportation without stretching the budget.
Built around a classic diamond frame handcrafted from durable, lightweight steel, the V7 features a versatile Shimano MegaRange 1x7 drivetrain with a wide gear range designed to handle nearly any hill. Puncture-resistant tires provide a smooth ride over rough city streets, while dual-pivot caliper brakes with quick release deliver confident stopping power.
As with all PUBLIC bikes, the V7 includes thoughtful commuter details: full fenders and a chainguard to keep you clean and dry, a negative-rise stem for a sportier feel and responsive handling, and a saddle and grips finished in a durable, weatherproof material. Front and rear rack mounts come standard, making it easy to carry cargo wherever you’re headed.
With our unique Ready to Ride shipping option, your bike arrives pre-tuned and 99% assembled, carefully and professionally packed by our in-house Bay Area technicians—ready to roll right out of the box.
