I got this nice bike for cheap but I don’t really know if it is my size. I’m 6,4 (193.5CM) with a 95CM inseam. I just barely reach my the ground with my toes and I will take it for a test ride shortly. But it looks kind of small (don’t remember if it was a 56 or 57 Frame size). What could be it’s worth if it is too small?

Why bother buying a bike if it’s too small. It’s not like you can shrink anytime soon. If you’re in the business of reselling, you should probably know its value. My suggestion, find a bike your size and buy that.
The bike’s size doesn’t determine its worth. Klein is small in German tho lol.
Why’d you buy a little ass bike man 😭
Nice bike. Carbon rear stays with a rubber/elastomer bumper. Too small for you. That’s the perfect size for me and I’m 13cm shorter.
It’s too small. You should be on a 61cm. I’m 6,2 and ride a 58 Reve.
56/57 would be small for 6’4″. I am 6′ and ride two 58cm Klein’s. It is a very nice bike though.
I see there are quite a nice stack of spacers under the stem. I think it “might” (might being the key here) work with a 130 or 140mm stem.
Too small for you. When you say that your feet barely touch the ground, do you mean while you are seated in the seat? If so, that’s not how you should think about sizing a bike. The bike seat can move up and down a lot, and in general you should *not* be able to have your feet flat on the ground while in the seat. Properly set up, your feet should more or less sit flat on the pedals (with a bit a knee bend) when you are in the seat. If your feet can reach the ground while in the seat, your pedal stroke will have too much knee bend. Standover height is a better measurement — that is the measurement from the ground to the top bar. In general, you’d want around 25-40 mm of clearance between the top bar and your crotch with your feet flat on the ground (the seat will be much higher than your crotch). You have very long legs, so you probably will likely have significant standover clearance even on the largest frames. You’re probably looking for at least a 60cm frame, and would probably be better on something even bigger (but most bike brands will top out around 62cm).
Okay after the test ride I can confidently say that it is too small, I will probably sell it. What would be a good price? It has carbon wheels on and most of the parts are carbon but the frame is made in USA aluminium.
It’s funny because that’s what it means
