williamw1987, can I ask how you are getting on with the Trek? Any issues at all? I'm looking into one for myself. Also, could you tell me your height/inside leg? Sorry to be a pain :oops:

No problem pal I really like it... Lightweight frame, decent hydraulic brakes, decent lockout front forks which are awesome for road cycling etc. I haven't encountered any problems other than (i think) my crank that keeps creaking is the only issue really. I think thats easily sorted out by tightening it?

Im 5ft 8 tall... inside leg im not too sure about actually lol. But the size frame I have is 17'5 inch frame. Fits me perfectly.
Overall I recommend the bike... hope that helps!

Here is my bike: Trek 6000 Disc.

Can't post yet as my new bike hasn't arrived but after looking through the 22 pages of photos I was intrigued, the vast majority of us have correctly fitting bikes, you can see that throught the seat height to handlebar relationship and to the seat for, aft positioning, except for some of the poor lads on page 17.
If your bike is so ill fitting buy a new one, I put up with a frame size too large for three years but my not two sizes too large or small as these photos indicate. Bite the bullet and sellem. :twisted:
