Hi Guys,
Im gonna buy a meta SX but nowhere near me to test one. Just wondering if any owners on here have an opinion on sizing? Im 5'9 in my socks so guess 5'10 in my 5:10's, I usually ride a medium however i bought a medium stumpy evo last year and that is kinda on the short side in the top tube, not so bad that i dont ride it for 4 or 5 hours comfortably tho.
The meta SX is 8mm shorter top tube and i would want to run it with a 50mm Stem a sthats what its designed for, the stumpy has a 60mm Stem on so overall the medium SX would be 18mm Shorter. Now im only planning on using the Meta SX as a Downhill lite/Freeride/Uplift/Park/Call it whatever you like bike. Basically just something a little heavier duty than the stumpy for trips to forest of dean,bike park wales, the alps etc, it will never be pedaled for prolonged periods of time.
So at 5'10 do i get the Medium and have a compact bike or do i get the large and have a little more room? And advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
