Hi all,

Really undecided as to what size spesh enduro 08 i should keep.

i currently ride a 08 medium but always felt it looked a little small under me.


Im 5ft 11 so in between the medium and large frame sizes.


Any anyone tell me from the below videos which is best for my size?

(The medium i have the seat all the way back on its rails and the large i have it set in the middle of the saddle)

Many thanks

    It really doesnt matter what the bike looks like underneath u its how it feels when riding. Both of my bikes 'look' small when im sat on them but they feel spot on when riding and thats all that really matters.

    As for which bike to keep only u can really decide that, the one that feels best underneath u when riding it forget what it looks like.

    Not much in it but for general-purpose trail riding the Large gets my vote.

    I'm 6'2" and ride a Large Cannondale Rize which is mahoosive but I also have a 16" Chucker. I look like a bear on a tricycle but cockpit-wise there is plenty of room and the smaller bike is very err...chuckable. Depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing, same for you I guess.

    +1 for what jayson say's

    Not much in it but you would have more adjustment on the saddle with the large.

    Nice bike by the way 8)
