I currently ride a Voodoo hardtail. I've been thinking about going to an XC dual susp. frame and was looking at the Titus Racer-X. I'm not sure which way to go on the size of the frame. What do you think?

The Voodoo is what I'm riding now with a 120 mm, 6 degree rise stem.

Thanks.

I ride a medium. I'm 5'8". Don't get a small!

WOOHOO TITUS!

That's what I was thinking, but the stand over height was kinda making me cringe. I'm 5'10"

Those are long bikes for small, but I'd say you need at least the medium. No way should you be on the small.

I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam (kinda short for my height...I need low standover and a long top tube). I ride a medium Locomoto, but I use a layback seatpost. I ran a 120mm stem at first, but now use a 90mm which crowds the cockpit somewhat but gets me better positioning in the downhill.

I could use a large, too, I think, but prefer the medium.

PS My Loco is now back from warranty! Woooooohoooooooo!

The design is different this year, tho...kinda looks like a Klein Adept. It's a black bike...looks like Darth Vader's trailbike.

geometry is something you want to get right and get it right the first time. i'm just a tid bit over 6 feet but i've got a 35 inch inseam. my legs take up a good portion of my body but for my height i've got decently long arms i guess when compared to other ppl but not as long as they probably should be. still not exactly sure how my bike is set up geometry wise. i just measured myself out, sent my #s to IF and they did the rest based off of how they KNOW i ride and where i like my bike to be stiff n what not so they could adjust the tubing and the tube diameters of each section of the bike. the only thing i know is my bike has a 23.6in tt on it. and a pretty high BB height on it. those guys hit the nail on the HEAD w/ the design of my bike. custom in my mind is the ONLY way to go.........
