    DW DHR for 5'10 rider

    I've been searching the site for size recommendations on this frame. At 5'10 Im right on the edge of a medium or a large and I 'm having trouble deciding. My 08' tnt rfx medium felt a little small for all mtn riding. I prefer the older 06' rfx with longer TT. but with a dhr you dont sit...

    Highline with a fox 36van for DH racing

    Recommend me a SLACK 6”-7” frame
