Hi all,

Recently joined the forum and would like some advice please.

Going to view a 2011 Zesty Carbon tomorrow with a view to buying it, but the seller has only just noticed it's a small frame!

I'm 5ft 10 and wondered if a small would be suitable. Obviously I will be trying it out for size tomorrow, but just wanted to gauge other Zesty owners opinions please!?

Anything else I should be looking for when viewing?

Your advice/support would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Tim

    Small will most likely be far too small for your height. You’ll be either too end of medium or bottom end of large.

    Also Lapierre has the nickname snap-ier a few years ago, especially the carbon frames!

    Damn! Really wanted it, but as I thought, small frame will not suffice!!

    For your height, a medium frame.

    Ditto.

    I'm 5'10" and a small would be waaaaaay too small.

    You're on the cusp of M or L depending on the bike and geometry.
