IH Hollowpoint Q
- Thread starter JTN
- Start date
It also matters though where they are measuring from (and all the other measurements like tt length etc)....Some companies go center to center....others from center to top....makes a difference. I am riding the "19 inch" SGS DH model when I usually will ride a 17" bike. I found the 17" SGS DH too small and compact for my riding style (got to try out both sizes). Hope that helps.

Same as the Giants, 14, 17, 19, 21, 23/XS, S, M, L, XL.
Not too unusual...

i ride a hollowpoint expert 2004 in medium, its a 19" frame and it fits like one
this frame fits like a XC bike not a DH or 4X bike so order it so
on the other hand
i also ride a SGS DH Team, its a 19" which sounded huge but fits fine,

Hey JT,
I'd be more interested in checking out the geometry, especially TT, standover, HT angle and chainstays.
19" could work well, how tall are you again? 178cm? I am 181cm and rides the 19" Azonic Saber. Fits like a glove, because the geometry is spot on for me although I was put off by the 19" claimed size.

If you compare the geometry diagrams from a Hollowpoint to a SC Blur, a small HP is almost identical to a medium Blur.

Blur small top tube = 21.6"
" med " " = 22.7"
" large " " = 23.3"
HA = 70.5 deg to 71.5 deg depending on size
SA = 73 deg
Hollowpoint 15" top tube = 22.7"
" 17" " " = 23.3"
" 19" " " = 23.8"
HA = 66.5 deg or 71 deg depending on info source (catalog or web page)
SA = 71.4 deg
I've heard the 66.5 deg HA shown on the web page is incorrect, but it is still up.

One of my riding buddies just bought a HP Expert from the only BC dealer a couple of weeks ago.
BTW Todd, did you hear from the dealer about his issue? Apparently the guy at the store he was dealing with has gone on vaction for a week so he isn't sure what is up.
Edit to add URL links to 2 different HA for the Hollowpoint frames.
