I'm suspending the "I has a sad" cat meme cos Ton is frikken huge and I don't like fist pie.
That looks amazing....but too big for her....but she can probably outpace most of us...so....good for her. Who is she?

Quod erat demonstrandum, I think Rodney.
Is that a 20" wheel yer riding ole cock?
Stoner you look way better on the 29er 😉 .
No, not at 5'6" but having converted my 26 rigid bike to a 69er I'd like a rigid specific 29er, something designed to run a 440mm fork to keep the front low enough.

Stoner....bit tall aren't you. 😯
Should have taken up basketball!
What size is right for riding a 29er then?
These 26 v 29 threads are getting very dull. It looks like wheel size choice is here to stay, just accept it and move on.
Im only 5'6" and ride a medium inbred 29er - tried a small but was too small (officially too small as agreed by the guys at on-one). Its comfy and I have done over 3k miles on it .... I bet if I did post a pic you'd still say it was too big.
Personally I ride what feels right not what someone else tell me looks right, isnt that how we should judge our bikes?
6' 3" & look awesome on my 29er! 😉

Can't believe that nan Niels ride was nearly 4 Years ago Ton!!

Crikey.Tony 😆
hmmmmm shortcut isn't so small as the name would suggest. An accident during a vasectomy perhaps?
[img] 
[/img]
actually looks massive on me, maybe a little black number in 26" would show off my curves better?
you'll be wanting that frame back 1 day Taz. It's still in the box at the mo, squawk if the pain gets too much.
it looked soooooo pretty 😥
Nobody realises that my Sultan is a 23" frame - it looks so good and in proportion for me.
Stoner is the only one allowed a 29er.
It's uncanny

Me on a 21" inbread at last years tonyas challange. Am sticking with 26 wheels for full suss till they get to 15omm travel.
Haven't got any pics but the guys i ride with who berate me for having big wheels often relent and comment that it looks all normal in proportion when i'm riding it. I'm a smidge over 6ft 3 for what its worth.
Dont know why i cant link the pic followed the help insrtutions, prob cause i dont own the flickr account but itsfree to share.
I remember having a conversation with a rep from cube telling me I was too small for a 29er 🙁 So I had a frame made
I'm 5ft 2
So where do you start with that picture of tazzymtb -
Boy band sleeveless t-shirt
Lycra leggings
Or (& worst of all) suspension forks to ride around a field !!!!

a very average 5`10"

Emac I know it's shocking isn't it. You missed out the ugly fat middle aged bit though chap...very disappointed in you 🙂
6'1" on a Large 29er. Looks about right.
[img] 
[/img]
6'4" odd, so i guess a 29er would fit. Wont be getting one though I would like to try one, but only for a short ride. When i made the switch from 20" to 26" it took a while to get used to the giant wheels. When I went back to the bmx, i found it far too small and nervous, which was a real shame. I didn't give myself a chance to get used to it again and stopped riding it altogether. I don't want that to happen again as i have 3 great 26" bikes with no plans to change.
It's alright Euro,it's not an exclusive club & you're still allowed to carry on riding 26" wheeled bikes..I do 🙂
Although some do seem to think it's an all or nothing thing 🙄

Don't be so harsh on yourself mate,black is very slimming....
Looks about right.
If you say so. 😛
Yes, I'm 5'3 and ride a specialized fate small. Im much faster than on my trek fuel x8 everywhere except going down, when I'm about the same.
i'm (only) 6'1"
26ers are just silly:
[img] 
[/img]
Well, I think I look awesome. 😛
What i meant was, the bike looks more in proportion than this one when I was still on training wheels.
[img] 
[/img]
It's alright Euro,it's not an exclusive club & you're still allowed to carry on riding 26" wheeled bikes..I do
I'm frightened it'll make my 26 bikes feel too small for me. Ignorance is bliss and all that...
This is me on my Xl Tallboy:

[/img]
Yes

lol @MTQ 'training wheels'

Here's me on mine! It might make me look small as I'm not a tall guy but I love riding it!
