Anyone had an experience on full suss sizing on SC.
Looking at getting the Tallboy alloy but size chart says large but am a definite medium on the Yeti 4.5 I demoed. I am just over 6ft.
thanks for your help

In my opinion you’ll need a large... SC come up small. I have a large Tallboy 3, with an in-line dropper, 55mm stem and I’m 5’11”, with a preference for small bikes

Oh, and for the avoidance of doubt, I’m very happy with the fit and the ride!

SC sizing comes up fairly small. General consensus is to size up although their TT's are getting longer.

If you can I'd try an XL. I'm 5'10/11" and ride a large mk3 nomad which feels a little bit small if anything

New geos are miles from "used to" in a lot of ways medium nomad sits bang on the same as my medium commencal. And at 6ft that would be large in most bikes. Though with standover being good on most modern bikes it's almost pick a length

5’10 on a large HT. Medium was far too short.

They’re longer than they used to be, but still conservative.

At 6ft I would deff go for a large (but try an XL as well if you get the chance) on an SC. I'm 6'1 with a large nomad mk3 which is just about big enough for me. I tried an xl nomad and it just felt there was too much bike on tighter techy stuff

Yep, size up for SC. I'm 6'1 and prefer XL to L.

Check out the carbon tallboys at biketart on ebay for a knockout price in xl iirc.

That's if you feel inclined to go carbonified
