Hello

..so I really struggle with bike geometry, I have put down a deposit on a Vassago Jabberwocky 29+ frame, but am now starting to worry if the frame is too small for me. I am 6ft 2 and a half with a 36" inseam. The biggest frame size they do is a Large - link below, geometry tab at the bottom. Any help appreciated.

5'10" and I have a medium fits me perfect.
This is my third Vassago, two Jabberwockii and a Verhauen.
If you set it up long and low I think you'll be good.

Thanks Simpsan, that has put my mind at rest somewhat.

Is the green Jabberwocky your current bike? I see you have standard 29 tyres on it, how is the BB height?

Quick Measure....
Jabberwocky ( Green ) schwalbe Nobby Nic 29 x 2.25
Height to centre of BB 12.25"

Verhauen 29+ ( Blue ) Bontrager Chupacabra 29 x 3.0
Height to centre of BB 12.75"

Both measurements taken unladen and set up rigid, I run the Jabberwocky at 23/25 psi and the Verhauen at 12/13.5 psi.

By comparison my partners Scale has a BB height of around 12.5" with 100mm FS
