Hi.

Anyone ride a small Anthem X3 (26") who is around 5'8"?

Struggling to find one to try out in/near North Kent!
Giant site says small goes up to 5'7" but obviously that's a generalisation and wont take into account differences in torso length.

Cheers,

Si

I ride a med 26" and I'm 5ft 7/8 ish.
Plenty of seat post out and it feels just right. I certainly wouldn't want a small

I'm 5' 9" and ride a medium. Feels just right to me. I had a Trance in small and that was ok too, though I did notice the reduced reach - that may be a good or bad thing depending on your preference.

5'8" and I have a medium (26" wheels, 2010 model I think). I wouldn't want smaller.

Thanks guys. Looks like I really need to find one to try before risking a mail order - but that doesn't appear to be very easy!

Could you not try a medium, and see if that feels a bit big? (assuming a medium is an easier thing to source of course!)

Can't find a medium in stock near me either - waiting for a reply from another local stockist about a medium, fingers crossed!
