I saw the price hence the interest .It gives a height range which I fall into ,im 6ft 4 but I have really long legs and ideally would like the frame to be at least 62 cm centre to top.

Let me see what I can find out Edric. I think we've had some big lads on there but 86cm sound a lot. I'm 6'2" but only have 805mm!

XL is 57cm centre to top. It's not big enough. Sorry.

Figures from the great bikefitter Chris Last...

Frame is 575mm centre to top. 300mm of seatpost gets you to 875mm, then 50mm for your saddle so a max of 925mm from BB centre to saddle top.

SO IT SHOULD FIT!

Bit of a drop to the headtube, but a high rise stem would fix that.

If its any help I'm 6'5" and wear a 36" leg jean - and the XL Stealth fits me just fine - in fact thanks to Andy @ Bike Science in Bristol I've got a great fit and position. The only thing he changed from standard was the stem - which is what Brant said above

Anyone got a medium or a large? 6ft and about a 33" inside leg here so could me medium or large based on the sizing chart. Tempted to go medium.

Thanks trail_rat, that makes me think medium would be about right. Anyone know how long a seatpost they come with? I'd need a good 30cm exposed on the medium.

Its not so much the height that the issue .... its the length- i run an unconventionally short stem on my large due to short torso.

i suspect if you went to a large youd struggle with the length.

Mr Blobby, I'm roughly same height as you with 34" inside leg and I've got a large which fits me really well.

If you are close to Glos/Wilts you're welcome to come and try.

The bike could be up for sale if anyone is interested...

Richardk, thanks. I have many of the components already, just need a frame really. Though if the price is right I could be tempted 🙂

Oh bugger, my impatience got the better of me and I've gone and ordered the medium. Hopefully will not be too short.

Anyone else get one of these? Should be turning up tomorrow and just planning my build. Anyone know if the headtube and BB will need facing? This may be a stupid question seeing as it's a carbon frame but assume there is some sort of metal thread for the BB at least.
