HI all........
About to buy a hardtail on the c2w scheme.
I'm 6'8" and have been looking at the specialized rockhopper comp 23" and the
giant xtc2 xl.
Do either of these sound suitable for a bloke of my height?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

Both good bikes,
How much do you weigh,though?
I have a friend who is 6 ft 5,and he gets on very well with an On One Scandal 29er.He purchased it via C2W.2006 Giant XTC

An XTC will be. A Rockhopper might struggle.0

I'd originally had my heart set on the rockhopper until the Giant caught my eye.
Thanx for the advice0 -
6"8 20 stone, bet the walkers wont tell you off for not having a bell!!
do bikes have a weight limit? might be worth getting hold of manufacturer asking them if they do, warranty wise, just in case something happens to frame."My life is like a porno-movie, without the sex".0 -
A lot of big guys get
on well with the Kona Hoss.Both frame and components are strong.

I have an XTC.I would think the frame would be up to it,but some of the componets,would struggle.2006 Giant XTC
