Hi

I'm thinking of buying '10 Flatline, but I cannot deside would ii be size M or L.

I'm 6 feet tall and riding currenty size L Morewood Izimu. Before that I rode size M new style Bullit. The Bullit felt a little small and the Izimu might be little big for me, I think.

So all you Flatline owners or ones that have tested it, could you give me you opinion about sizing.

I feel your pain I think being 6 ft is a kind of curse when it comes to picking out a DH frame. I was trying to find out if I should get the glory med or Large frame for a couple of months. Ended up with a Medium if that helps.

Same problem here. I'm 6 feet tall and am always half way between two sizes. As they are apparently hand made in Canada it may be worth dropping them a line. They may be able to do something for you.

What's up. Tough choice. I'm about 6'2" and I ride a Large 2010 Flatline. My buddy rides a medium and It's pretty big, so big I might consider downsizing to a Meduim next season. I suppose I would recommend a Medium for you, of course my best recommendation would be to try and find one in your area and give it the 'ol feel test.

I wonder if these Taiwan welders would be complemented or offended by being referred to as robots?

I saw a lot of the new rockys in whistler last week, and they look very impressive. I didn't get to ride one though, but looking at the geometry on the website, the large is 12mm longer than my makulu large, which I find quite long, and I'm 6'3", so you may want a medium frame on the rocky. The longer the top tube though, the more weight you get over the front tire, and the more stable the ride is going to be in the rough and at speed, so that's something to consider for what type of trails you're going to be riding.

tight and twisty, shorter frame, fast and open, then go for the big.
