Hello, since there are no adjustable head angle cups on production models, what is the static HA on present frames?

And question for people with M6 or other intense frames with similar geo to 951.

What size would you recommend for a person who is 5'11'' or 180 cm.

Thanks.

go here and click on the 951: http://www.intensecycles.com/ then click on the link to the geometry and it has all the info you are looking for and more. the HA is adjustable via the dropout setting.

I was thinking that 64/65 for head angle stands for model that is with cups... thanks for the answer.

But , for size , i need advice, because according to intense site, i am between medium and large, and i could go both ways.... so i need a recommendation.

Thanks again

Go demo the bike. They have a guy traveling around the country with demo bikes.

I don't think that option is available yet and I have only seen it on a prototype M6 frame so far.

I agree with Cable Guy, your best bet is to try a demo bike if you can because sizing is such a subjective thing. I know some guys that should ride a medium frame based on the specs but prefer a small because they like a small frame. If you can't do that, the next best thing is to find a similar bike (same TT length, BB height, etc.) and ride that to see how you like the fit.

Adjustable headset cups is only on the M6 Evo and Nigel Pages 951, not on production bikes.

I am 178cm and ride medium frame,s but what the other guys said, it is all about preference

I am usually in a similar situation when purchasing bikes (I'm also 5'11). I buy mediums for two main reasons.

1.) Frame makers often design a bike around the medium model then just use a longer tt and seat tube to make it a large (not always the case)

2.) I like a smaller more maneuverable feeling bike given the choice

Like everyone has been pointing out, sizing is a personal thing. So if you like riding a bigger bike where you can really get behind the bike go for a large. It will feel more stable at speed but lack the agility of the smaller frame.

Being between frame sizes is a good thing. You will feel good on either size so it gives you options! Now choose the bike that fits your style.

I'm 182cm and ride a medium M6, it feels good but I have been riding medium Intenses for a while.

I wouldn't mind trying a large though.

What frame and size do you ride now? That might help more...

i rode a large sunday before. Felt good most of the time, but i loved the sam hill size. The seattube could be a bit lower and for some tracks the wheelbase could be shorter...i think that looks good for me if i go with large or? The 951 has a lower ST as the sunday and i can change the wheelbase
