Cannondale trigger size help

mckeann

Hi folks.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a cannondale trigger carbon 1

http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m1b0s1p537 ... BON-1-2013

I currently ride an orange hard tail P7

I'm hoping the trigger will be a good bike choice for general trail riding, stuff like the red route at Glentress. My question is, which size, L or XL???

I'm 6'3" tall, and ride the 21" orange. But, I sometimes struggle to get back far enough over the back of the seat on steep descents, i ride with the seat as far forward on the rails as it'll go.

Does anyone have a cannondale trigger who can help advise on frame size. I plan on ordering from paulscycles so unfortunately can't go and have a sit or a ride


Cheers

Neil

The horizontal top tube length on your Orange is listed as 620 mm; the XL Trigger is shown as 639 mm and the L as 613 mm. This would seem to suggest the L would suit better given your current saddle position.
