What size Stanton Switchbacks are 5'9" folk riding?
Seriously thinking about upgrading the current HT but like a lot of bikes I fall somewhere between a S/M.
I will go ride one first anyway but just trying to get an idea.
Cheers.
I'm 5'9/175cm and ride a 16.5" frame with 50mm stem and its nice and compact, if you prefer more reach when riding then I would opt for the 18"?
My other bike is a Mach6 which also has a short toptube which a lot of people dont seem to like, long and slack seems to be the thing these days, any way, your right on the cusp in my opinion so probably best to get a test ride and with a bike that would be close to your final spec.

stewartc - nice to hear there's someone else out there who likes things compact, I thought I was the only one left. Compact and slack everytime for me.
lyntonsmith - I think you need to arrange that test ride. If nothing else it's a good excuse to get to ride a different bike.
GK, keep it compact for maximum fun 🙂
Hopefully going to get it done this weekend
