    Hey, I’m looking into buying an 07 yeti 575 frame in a Medium, I’m 5’9″ tall with a 30 inside leg, will it fit me ok? I’ve heard they run larger than normal? Any help would be great. Thanks Rob

    Yes. You’ll be fine. I’m 5’8″ on a medium. They are long for their size, but it suits me fine

    I’ve got an ’06 575 in medium; I’m 5’11” with 31″ inside leg… you should be OK; I’ve got a lot of seatpost showing

    Can you test ride it? If not, you’re welcome to try mine if you’re near cheltenham.

    oh thanks for the very speedy replys! p20 I’ve heard they’re quite long, could I just run a shot stem on it would that help? Dave, thanks for the offer to test ride yours but I’m not close to you at all, I like In North Northumberland (otterburn) Its frame only so may just chance it, I wold like to run with a good bit of seatpost, thinking a dropper.

    Jota, that looks awesome! Looking at your set up I’d just need to lower the seat post a few inch? Also what length stem you running?

    The toptubes are around 23.4″ from memory which is long for the size. I run mine with an inline thomson post and a 120mm stem, so you could easily shorten it. I’m about a 31″ inside leg.

    Work out how the TT length fits you. When I nearly bought an ASR7 and did some research the yeti size guide is different to other brands. I’m 5’10 and like a 22.5″ TT, which is medium (where I am top end of rider size guide) on a Santa Cruz, small on a Yeti (which is recommended for shorter riders).

    Above posters are happy but I’d look up geometry guide on internet and compare with your current bike; what reach (TT + stem) do you like, and how would the Yeti match that?

    I had a medium and at 5’8″ it was too big for me, tried swapping stems etc but never felt right although it did round the car park….

    I’d honestly advise getting a good few miles of testing before to make sure-personally I’d say too big but reckon you might be between sizes

    5’10” with 30″ inside leg and my medium 07 with a 90mm stem and inline post was superb! How I miss thee… 🙁

    Hmm,

    Does this make me the odd one out at 6′ with a 32″ inside leg to be riding a large?

    It is the old style with the same frame as pictured above.

    Crash,the TT of the 07 is 23.4 inch and on my 03 Marin its 23 inch which I’m comfortable on, I’m running a 110mm stem on my marin too which is a tad long really, so a 575 with a 90mm stem I think will be ok. Yoshi, ah right its gonna be hard to get a ride on one to be honest, but judging from the pic of P20s bike I think it may be fine.

    6 ft with a 32/33″ leg and a large is fine with me!
    Longer in the TT than the 04 enduro it replaced but its all good!

    its 10mm longer than your old bike, and youre running a tiller of a stem 🙂 . So yes, going to a shorter stem would make it feel the same length as your old bike, but not steer excessively differently (I ride 90mm which is long by modern fashion standards so your’e not going down to some twitchy stubby length). Fitting a 90mm would seem a sound idea if you think your current one isa bit too long; 10mm to take account of the longer TT, 10mm to make it fit better than the old bike.

    The design of the frame means there’s loads of stand over height so that was never going to be an issue, so I would say if you are happy with your current bike’s size it will fit you. It’d be too long for me but that’s down to personal preferences.
