What size frame have you ordered and how talk are you? I'm thinking of going for the 17.5 frame I'm 5' 8" with shortish legs/longish body

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 9:55 pm

17.5"

17.5 will be way too small for you Matt.

It'll be lovely, remember they've got a reet long TT and I mean reet long

Would Sir be needing a frame bag to go with that?

I can't guarantee that your existing one will fit

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 11:11 pm

If my current one doesn't fit surely it's warranty

My initial instinct would say the 16 inch model but the long body may sway that. What's your inside leg?

I tend to downsize myself of mountain bikes (5ft 7 and both salsas are 15 inch) for extra standover

I'm a similar height with short legs and monkey arms but would only consider the 16". I tried a Knard on a Rabbithole rim in the front of my Gryphon and it felt like it raised the front end by a good few inches, so I would imagine that with similar front and rear the standover would be quite high?

I'll check the small print, but I'm not sure a different frame geometry counts as a defect in work(wo)manship

went to be fitted for a Longitude today and am on the borderline for 19" on reach but looking at the spec it has a reet short stem at 31.8mm so i should be ok with the 19". does anyone have trouble putting stem cells on a with this short a stem?

PS all sizes are sold out from Madison except the 19"

Pretty sure 31.8mm is the clamp size, not stem length?

My head hurts from the use of the L word and a thousand suggestions of how it would work so well with his latest acquisition - a Rohlof built into a 29" wheel. Considering the fact that his current bike has 26" wheels, and suddenly has become too small. I can only guess that Beth over in Wildcat World will be getting a new order for a frame bag.

The frame only option comes in a single choice of colours - putty. Dan wants green. What can I say.

These are the numbers Mpolo was working from:

Yeah, as Ben says 31.8 indicates the stem / bar diameter not the length. All the pics I've seen would indicate something along the lines of a 80mm - 90mm stem is fitted as standard.

EDITED: For the hard of seeing

Mpolo · Post by **Mpolo** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 8:48 pm

I think you could be right so how long is the stem?

sorry slow of computer here

Read what I put in the post above yours

I've got a 29" inside leg, and now looking at the data sheet above the tt length of the 16" looks closer to my old 17.5" frame, i think i'll have a word with my lbs and try out the 16" and the 17.5"

Went and got sized up for one at the weekend. I'm 6'3. Guy reckoned fit wasn't weird, and that I'm normal shaped. Was a def 20.5 for me.

Doing it on C2W.

Thread resurrection.

Anyone know of any 17.5" framesets in stock anywhere? I need a project during the current pedestrian phase

How tall are you? They're a very long frame.

5'8"

I'd consider the 16" ... I had a go on a 17.5" and it felt very long.

Have you had a word with Shona and Rich at Keep Pedalling?

wfbroddy · Post by **wfbroddy** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 9:01 am

I'm 5'8" and use the 16" frame, photo below in test bicycle for a overnighter running 29+ Maxxis Chronicles,
using the Genesis swoop back bars so the stem is a 90mm if I remember,
the seat post has maybe about 1-1.5" left in the tube before it hits the max out line

I find it a really good fit and I would say I'm average build
