hey s im considering getting an 05 p3 but i was just wondering if i a long would be to small for me if im like 6'4 what do you guys think thanks?

 

[arboc!]

try one out, see how it feels

The P series bikes are really short. I am 6'2'' and came from a BMX background and the bike felt too cramped. For reference I ride a COVE stiffee sl with a 23'' tt

I am 6'3" and I ride a long P.1. I do feel cramped but I can still flick it well. I just dont ride it for a long time becuase then I start to hurt. Look at the Large Giant STP becuase it has a 23" TT.

 

[willyboy8576]

the 2005 p3s do have a 23.46'' tt

I'm 6'2'', and have a long P1 with a 100mm shiver SC. It fits nicely.

on the specialized website, it says the long has a top tube of 596mm, I don't know if thats effective or actual because it doesn't say, but thats 23.4645669 inches, man, I so smarts

 

[willyboy8576]

it would be nice to find out if it was real or effective

It says that for the P.1 too, but on the P.1 frame there is a geo chart and it says it has a 22.5 TT. Hmmm.

 

[offdawalley]

yeah the P1 and the P3 frame are the same thing and the short is 22.5 but he is 6-4 so I gave him the long which is 23.5 if you would like to check the specialized website please do because it doesn't say whether its real or effective, but I am guessing that it is effective because the P3 has such a sloped top tube I think that the real length would be like 24 or something

i happen to have an 05 catalog here at home, and it says that they are measured horizontal. p2/p3 come in both short and long the p1 only comes in long. the frames are not the same between the p1 and the p2/3 the p1 has shorter chainstays. the p street is a whole different frame(chromo and geometry somewhere between both sizes) my 2 cents

I dont think they make a small anymore. I have a Long. And on my frame it says 22.5 TT. I could take a picture for you if you want.
