like the title says, i was wondering if anyone has a large v10 (05 or newer) that they wouldnt mind letting me check out to see how the size fits me.

Thanks,
Brent

HI BRENT.

I'm guessing that Med. frame didn't work out for ya? I'd help out with the search a bit more if I wasn't sick

 

[BMCarter]

the frame i'm looking at is a large, i just want to sit on one before i pull the trigger

I know 2 people in town with small v10's.....which doesn't really help you, sorry!

They are nice, but a couple things to know:
The Santa Cruz spring rate chart is BS. If you weigh more than 180 pounds, get a 600 lb spring.
They like to eat bearings.

i'm 6'2", think the large is going to be too big?

i just have zero experience with the v10. i've rode 5150dhbiker's large M3, but looking at the specs, the Large V10 seems bigger.....

I've sat on a large V10 before and it felt larger than Mike's M3 for sure. Large V10's are def. large.
It comes down to personal pref. though, some tall folks prefer more compact fit

i am 6'2" and loved the large, i felt cramped and confined on a medium, if you like a small bike you might enjoy a med, you always can adj. your stem n stem length, if it helps at all i am 170 and rode a 450-500 spring depending on the kinda riding. good luck, enjoy the bike!

Haha, I forgot you had a V10!

I'm 6'3 and ride a large. I dont think you should go any smaller. Its a big bike (not too big), but you'll get used to it.
