SC website states a person 5'7'' can ride a small or medium frame, with 5'7'' being the shortest height recommended for a medium. I'm 5'71/2'' (5'8'' on a good day) and don't have particularly long arms, is a medium to big? My current downhill bike is a small. Thanks.
VP FREE size question
- Thread starter SLAPSHOT
- Start date
I'm 5'9" and use a medium w/ a 60mm stem. Friend is 5'7" and uses a medium w/ a 45mm stem.
I'm 6 feet and I ride a medium with the marzocchi 70mm stem. But I like my play bikes on the small side. Try to ride each size before you buy.
Been my experience that SC's run a little big anyways. I'm 6'2" and fit my buddies MEDIUM VPFree perfectly.
Edit - Ooops on the size. BTW, I used to ride a Large Blur, and it always seemed a little stretched out for me.

SC's small is 14", I rode my friends small v10 and it is kind of cramped and I'm 5'4. A 16 or 17" is more my size. I think you would want a med. But try them out.

Since you haven't specified which fork or any of the other parts, it's pretty hard to help you.
My free with a 888, basically a DH build, and 2.5 Intense DH tires is about 41 lbs. With a lighter build you can get under 40 no problem.
