23.5
So, I'm thinking maybe big wheels could work for me. Iv'e always ridden hardtails (and dh bikes). I am thinking 29" (or 650b) would be more proportionate for me. Im 6'4 about 190, lanky.
I ride in new england, usually tightish trails, so thinking short as possible chainstays. I also want a slackish HT, I have the most fun riding fast and railing turns, ride flats for XC always. I currently ride a NS surge, as it was the only bike with geo I liked, long, slack(ish) and low tt. It has a 23.5 tt which is nice as it alows me to use a short stem for everything. I ride 1x9 and with a 85-130mm fork to fit bassically anything I want to do.
I was hoping to find something along these lines in 29, but I am having trouble. Any thoughts?
