I am seriously considering buying an evil DOC and am looking for input from anyone who has ridden one. My only concern is the long top tube, i rode a voodoo shango once that felt awful which had a long tt. I am tempted to get the long size because i am a little over 6'4'', which would add another inch to the tt. Just want to get informed before i make a purchase. Thanks.

Call up Evil or PM dw. dw=Dave Weagle, owner of Evil Bikes. I am sure he and his crew would be more than happy to help you out.
well I'm only 5'9" and I bought the regular...I should have bought the long...D
I've had one of each now...........got the small, wasn't too happy with it and then got the large........ahhh......much better.BMXman said:
I'm only 5'7"ish.
But I do know someone who's around 6'2" who rides a small.
As with any frame, find one you like the size of and take some measurements to compare with the one you're looking to buy.
Yall aint got sh1t on my DOC, pics of it to come tomorrow

Your doc is the bastard child side effect.
Thanks guys, it seems like most of yall who have ridden one are pretty happy with it. Im looking for a smaller frame for dj and 4X so its sounding good so far. I have ridden a 14 inch loki that felt alright(although wery bmx-esque, and smaller than i would want to own) so im not worried about too small up to a point. The frame i have now is a medium haro escape, no stand over height and a little bit xc-ish. Its worked great and ive had tons of fun on it but i think its time to upgrade to something that will feel better and be more flickable for my lanky ass, and the DOC seems to fit the bill (plus its not super expensive).
sounds like you've got it all figured out!thestevej333 said:

its weird too, because when you look at the specs on the doc, the claimed tt length is like 23 for the short, and 24 for the long. This is like 2 + inches longer then anything else in its class.
If you're 5'7" and you felt cramped on the small, these measurements must be off, or measured differently then every other frame.
so I'm 6'2", and I was thinking it'd be sick to build up the Long with 24" wheels, would it just be completey too small for me or what?
remember I'm used to riding dj/street rigs.
Pics! Pics please! Those bikes are too badass not post pics!

I have a question about the doc, maybe one of you guys can answer it.
After looking at the frame on the evil website, I noticed that it has a 69 degree Head Angle with a 3" fork, and 68 with a 4" fork. This seems really slack for a street/dj bike.
Have any of you had issues with this? my current frame has a 71 degree head angle, and I love it for street, I really like the doc, but I am a bit hesitant in buying one because of this.
should I be concerned?

My mom owns a DOC with a 4 in travel fork on it. I have not noticed any adverse side effects from the slack headtube angle. I own a P2 with a DJ1, and the DOC is far and away better than the P2.
I just measured mine for you. It's 69 with a modified (about 100mm) sherman. I know for a fact that the stock 80mm sherman jumpers are noticibly shorter than my fork. You can tell in the pic it's longer.scurban said:

I was running a .243 with a 5" travel DJ1 and a 24" rear wheel. good for hucking; not the best street set up. if you were ever into the 24 rear wheel, the evil's head angle feels like that, but with a 26," if that makes any sense.
it is slack though. one thing to consider is that the higher axle to crown height of the marzocchi will exaggerate this. for this reason, I'm looking into picking up an 06 Pike.
one other thing I forgot- when i get a fork with a shorter axle to crown, my bb height will be lower as well, which will be a good thing.

DOC's ride pretty damn good. I wish I could get one, but popped for a Banshee Scratch brand new for $820. They ride really good for $820,.....actually, both ride pretty damn good. The Banshee has a lower TT though.
