So I was told the large giant glory will fit taller people. Anyone out there with experience? How about other comparable bikes?
yea, i was gonna suggest an orange, cause peaty used to and cathro still does ride one, and they are both giants.Dunno whether or not you'd consider it comprable, but the large Orange 224 is HUGE.
951s are definitely pretty long. My medium has almost the same top tube and a longer wheelbase (with the dropouts in the long position) as my bud's large 303R. I'd guess the TT is almost an inch longer than my old medium Turner.Giant are real long. V-10 is a little cramped in my opinion. I'm 6'3" and the Giant is one of the longer bikes I've sat on and test ridden. I went with a Cove Shocker but with your extra height I dont think it will work. The Treks are quite long as well if your smooth that might be an option. The large Intense 951 looks long on paper but have no experience with em.
I'm 6' and the Large 951 felt like a normal Medium to me.951s are definitely pretty long. My medium has almost the same top tube and a longer wheelbase (with the dropouts in the long position) as my bud's large 303R. I'd guess the TT is almost an inch longer than my old medium Turner.
I really like my new 951, too. It's long but it still pops real good. There might be faster bikes, but my bike is super fun and it puts a smile on my face for sure!
I can only see one fork on it. Where's the other one?thanks for all the input. That Lenz 29er looks way outta my price range hah. What kinda forks are those on it
AHAHAA Thanks for the correction... Seriously though thanks and I'll research the evil revoltI can only see one fork on it. Where's the other one?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
The fork is a Dorado
How about an Evil Revolt in XL for you?
I havent had a chance to test a lot of bikes as they arent around to be tested, rarely in stock.User "Huck Banzai" is 6'8, if I remember correctly (I think he's said it several times in various threads on this messageboard). Might want to send him a PM to see what he's been riding.
I think it was Turner that pointed me towards a Custom Cuervo; not certain, but I believe they will do it up!Ventana does custom geometry on some frames, not sure if the Cuervo is one, but it's worth looking into.
I've talked to Ventana about a custom XXXL for myself. They sound legit, willing to work with you and get it just right. Sinister as well.Ventana does custom geometry on some frames, not sure if the Cuervo is one, but it's worth looking into.
