GT frame sizing

noppy

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice as i have no means to try a GT frame for sizing.

Im looking at getting a GT force but dont know whether a medium or large is best.

im 6'1'' and 32 inside leg.

im currently riding a Large stumpjumper fsr and that feel really good size wise. but the GT large is an inch taller.

does that make much difference?

Thanks

Tallness makes little difference really - seat post can change that! More important is reach. What are the effective top tubes and seat angles?

stumpjumper - 612mm
73
gt - 599
72.9

Where do you get the inch from?

my stumpjumper is 19.5 inches
whereas i found online the large gt is 20.5

which means nothing if the makers dont measure the same way.

check they use the same method of measureing.

all siye does is tell you a difference of one makes model. not their whole range just comparative for the same model. different models from the same makers, though listed as the same "size" are often not the same measurement.

agh ok thanks

i shall investigate but i think a Large should be fine.
