Morning All.

I apologise, I know these threads have been done to death but can't find anything specific.

Having bought myself a full sus last year i now have an urge to get back to a hardtail again, especially as i've entered the L2B off road this year.

I've got my eye on a second hand Cove Handjob. Its a 19.5 frame, and at 6ft 3in, would i be killing myself???

If Anyone has got any experience it would be v helpful.

Cheers

I'm 6 ft 1.5in, 34" inseam and long arms (36" in posh shirts)
My 19.5" HJ fits really well despite my gibbon arms.
I reckon it'd be fine unless you are strangely proportioned

there's a few people on [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/anyone-else-get-themselves-a-220-handjob-in-the-crc-price-drop ]this thread[/url] giving frame size, height etc.
it might be useful

Thats great, thank you!

My inseam is 34" also and only slightly freakish arms.

Thats good food for thought, cheers.

I'm 6'2 with 35 inch legs, long arms, 19.5 handjob felt tiny, 21 felt like a gate. Had same issues with genesis frames, curent 20.5 feels too big but the previous 19 was definitely too short.
