Evening all,
Bottom line: I'm between sizes and don't know if I should go up or down... and I can't find one locally to try!!!
I'm looking at a Cannondale Trigger 27.5, either Medium or Large. I'm edging towards large - been advised that a larger/longer frame will give a nicer ride?
I generally ride a 56cm road frame - very comfortable on my daily Specialized Tricross 2010 frame. Height is approx. 5'10'', 32" inside leg.

Any advice appreciated.

Just over a week, having had a little go it feels dead very planted and smooth - the shock feels really good as well and the adjustable travel feature useful too.Cheers buddy. How long has he had it?Framebuilder

I've since read the 3 part Chris Porter interview on MBR - http://www.mbr.co.uk/news/bike_news/size-matters-part-3-bicycle-geometry-sucks-324160
Interesting stuff. Ordered the large with the intention of bringing in the stem 15-20mm. We'll see...FCN 2 to 80 -
I'm 6ft and 32" inside leg (ride 54-56cm road frames) and went for a large Trigger 2, fits me fine (prob would have been OK on a medium but I don't feel stretched out on the large).0

Thanks nferrar. Out of interest, how long is the stem on it? Looks to me to be circa 60mm?FCN 2 to 80
