Standard 22.5" TT doesn't do it for me @ 6'2"

I need a LONG TT & 4.5-5.5# weight 4x race frame.

Sinister DNA{large} has 23" actual & 24" effective BUT IT"S $750

Is there anything cheaper like that ?

try santa cruz, speaking from experience, I'm 6'1. You shouldn't need a big frame, small frames are better, you'll get used to it, and love it!

I am their with you man. I am 6'3" and when i ride a p.1, i hit my knees on the bars. Its annoying, so i think i might buy the Azonic Steelhead Pro XL. Its a good price too.

 

[bballboy388]

yea i herd the steelhead is good too also if u look at wheel world they have good prices on the kona's. and what about the other soul frame the loki i view that one as more urban park and the titan as more of a hartail freeride.

I know what you mean. I'm barely 6' and I hit my knees on the bars of my LONG P1. I think it just takes a little bit of technique (not being so far forward when you pedal), because small bikes are fun.

I have a Titan and love it, but when I first started riding it I would bash my knee on the stupid screw on my bke levers, but now I don't even come close to it.

He said it was for a 4x bike. He said nothing about park/street

Small bikes are fun because they are easy to control. But i can jump on a small bike fine but when i try to pedal, my knees either hit or come close. And I look huge when I am riding that thing. Haha. I can also get the steelhead at a pretty good price too so I'm in for that.

 

[bigkonarider]

Steelheads are good deals..
But also it has 7# weight & steep HA..
I think the TT is 22.25" XL.. That's why i am not getting one.
Specs on most Azonic frames are a secret !Unless you find a hardcopy catalog !!

 

[syadasti]

What about a large mountain cycles rumble - I think those are priced decently?

Actually I think it tells you the specs on the website. haha

 

[bigkonarider]

NOPE, guess they want you to ask a dealer ,it's just stupid ?! :mumble:
Thanks for all the input . Sunday will be the test on the 19.5" Haro !-but i'm 6'2" & can still stay low with the seat slammed --i hope !

 

[rpk1988]

I have made up my mind about 95% that I am going to get a Steelhead (depending on the weekend) with a DJ3. For the frame, its an awesome price. I believe the top tube on the Pro XL is 22.5. I think I am better off to go with that because small frames are just too...small for me being at 6'3". Whatever you get and build, you must post picutres, I will do the same if my ideas go through.

 

[heyzues]

dude if you really want a large sinister dna check out this. it is legit. Former owners have the frames and Frank will hold up to all the warranties from previous years so good luck.

The identiti Dr. Jekyl XL is pretty long, Im too lazy to look up the geo right now but it's something to check out. The bike does have a very high BB though.
