Hi,
Just a query to tall owners.
Could anyone measure a large seat tube just to check for size?
Website says about 19.5.
I am 6'2" with 34" inside leg.
I am running a Giant 29er in XL with a lot of post hanging out.
Not sure if it's a bit too small?
What heights are currently running a large?
Thanks,
Max

don't know about your height, but the sync is an absolute fantastic bike

That's good to know!
Really want one!
It's gonna be replacing two bikes,
One hardtail and one f/s so want to make sure it fits first!
Spoke to Upgrade and no chance of a test bike.
Any in the Rugby,Warwickshire area to try?
Thanks,
Max

Im 6'2" and owned a large that felt neat with 70mm stem and inline post, could have really done with a layback post but wanted a dropper.

I wanted the same, 2 bikes into one but didn't get on with the Kinesis in the end.

I reckon you'd be about right with maybe a bit more post than you'd like to see...

I'm 6'2 32" inseam and it's good, i'd like a slightly longer TT if I was being picky. I can chuck a photo up with my seat 2" higher if you like?

(FF29 not Sync - but same sizing numbers pretty much)

I'm 6"4 so at the very limit of the lg, I must say it's one of the most comfortable and fast bikes I've ever ridden, the fit is spot on? its very compact for a 29er. Your welcome to put a leg over mine if you're ever in the surrey or east sussex area

A picture would be good Nick Davies

Comfort thing is interesting.
Some people's are saying it gives a harsh ride.
Wanting a little bit of that ti zing if possible!

Max

Anyone with a large FF29 or Sync?
Don't suppose you could post a pic with seat up 82cm from centre of crank to top of seat?
Thanks again,
Max

This is mine. I'm 6'4", 34" inseam, but I'll have to check that the saddle was right up in the pic. I certainly don't find it too small, but I use an old school 85mm stem and quite wide bars. I'll measure up for you later.

I have an ff29 in large and I'm 6ft3 and it feels too small for me. Other people also tell my I look too big for it when I'm riding it. Great bike just a shame they don't do an xl.

Thanks Max. I've checked and I think it's 78cm from centre of crank to centre of saddle rail in my pic, so pretty much exactly the same saddle hight as you'd be after.
