Hi I need your help,

I'm interested in getting the new 2011 turner DHR and I don’t know what size to take the M or the S and no one in my county has one that I can ride.

My height is 174 cm I'm now riding a 2009 sort makulu and I find it an inch to big for me. I had in 2006 a M DHR and I found it perfect but the new model uses a different geometry chart and I cant camper them.

What do you think?

HI
Compare the new DHR's reach, stand-over, and wheelbase measurements with the old ones and that will help you get some idea of what size you need.

i coud not find in the old dhr the reach size in the web, i could only find the tt. and in the makulu the reach size (i measured my self) was 15.35 inches

I definitely wouldn't get a small if I were you. The wheelbases on the new ones are almost the exact same as the old ones.......but the new ones are slacker. Same chainstay... This means the cockpit is smaller. It's actually noticeably so. I went from a medium round tube frame to a medium dw link and the difference in sizing is one of the things I like most about it. I'l also about the same height as you.

The smalls are tiny.

Definitely a medium, I've ridden the old DHR's (round and square) in medium, and a DW in small... and the DW small is tiny. I'd agree with everyone above, get the medium.
