Despite being in between sizes, this is a contender- but i'd like to run it with 140 forks. Is this going to affect angles adversely? Revs, so 52 a-c. Oh, i'm 5'9.5 so if anyone can comment on sizing..

Looking at other options too- Meta AM is too much travel I feel. Would love a large Bandit but no stock. Prefer not to go 27.5/29 but that is the backup plan!

I'm 5'7" and ride a medium SL. Got X-Fusion Slants mainly set at 130mm but in Spain ran them a 150mm for the downs and it handled just fine.

Cheers. How do you find the toptube length?

I find it spot on with a 70mm stem, ideal for climbing, xc and short enough for me on the downs for them to be fun. Was tempted to get a small but very glad I didn't.
