Anyone over 6'4" riding a large or xl chilcotin. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on how you size up?
I'm 6'5" and leaning towards a large, plan to fit it out with a 50mm stem. I seem to think I fall somewhere in the middle of the a L-XL. I have an inseam of 35.4"
Thanks
I'm 6'2 and a bit and ride a large, they are a short cockpit and seat tube I ride with a chunk of post out when jra, I'd ask on the mtbr Knolly forum. If I was any bigger I'd probably size up but then would be big bike... See if you can get a demo. Mates got a large endo as a trail bike and he's 5'10 ish.
I'm around 6ft and found a medium too small. I'd want a large (if anyone knows of a large going cheap; give me a shout!)
Thanks guys...just got an email from Knolly saying I'd nees a xl.
As you can tell, the trend in the industry these days is for longer top tubes so you can run a shorter stem. The reason you are unquestionably an XL size is because on a large frame you would have an unusual amount of exposed seatpost. This could potentially put too much leverage on the welds at the seattube/top tube junction.
Seems to make sense.
Wrecker...shorelines has a deal on at the momwnt ..he has two L frames left
6' 4", XL and 50mm stem here. Fit feels "right"
Thanks tor
