Well due to the fact that the tiles are square at the edges....i'd say his top tube is bowed.
6'2" - and I came off a DH9 before my last 303 so I stuck with a large. Heck, my Medium DH9 had a longer top tube than my Large 303!Medium. How tall are you? I'm bang on 6ft. I like smaller frames though, so went for the M.

Mostly at my desk at worklthumbsdown:, I've only just finished paying off my credit card from last year. I'm going to try and get back next year.Banga: Where are you going to be this year?
Damo,
- The chainring choice is not definite, I have 34-36-38 to choose from so I am taking all of them to the Tribemeet to see which one is best for Cwmcarn.
my bad, just wanted to point out that rear cassette sizes are as important as chain ring sizes.dhkid ,
I have at least 4 shimano ultegra cassettes in different sizes. It does not matter whether it is 11-26 or any from your list. It was just to indicate what gear range I am using, probably 12-27 if I had to be precise.
Since I have the ability to pick and choose both the chainrings and the cassettes, I will use the Tribemeet to figure out the best combination. I am not competitive at the moment, I am not racing, I am learning though.
Anyway, it is not a discussion about my bike, this is Damo's thread and I do not want to steal it Let us all enjoy his yeti 303
Where did you get your helmet painted and how much was it you don't mind telling us?
whats the difference internally?Fox 40s in 09 are optional in black or white lowers, and avialable now
Apparently aside of obvious color they also worked a better adjustment transition from hi to low speed compression, AND a integrated stem option on the new upper crown!whats the difference internally?
