    Hoping some people here might have experience of riding the Marin Mt Vision, Wolf Ridge or Attack trail frames from around 08 – I’m 5ft 8 with a 31″ inseam, would I be OK getting a medium?
    (I’m just within Marin’s geometry recommendation from the time)
    Seen a couple secondhand you see.

    5’9″ with a 30″ inseam here.

    I had a 2009 Wolfridge in Medium and found it too short.
    This was replaced by a 2010 Attack Trail in medium and found this to be a better fit.
    I now ride a 2013 Nukeproof Mega TR in large and find it to be a perfect fit.

    5’11” here and my large Wolf Ridge was too short.

    The 2010 frames have a steeper seat angle and a much needed longer top tube IIRC.

    Threw a leg over the Mount Vision XM7 in a medium in my LBS , reach felt fine but the geometry is quite different now. 27.5 wheels too. Those new Mt Visions are nice, way out of my means.

    I rode a 2008 wolf ridge (if that’s the bluey grey one with white wheels and bits that has a parallelogram swing arm at the back?) and am 5ft 9 with 31 leg. Absolutely perfect size. Chuckable, not xc geometry.

    I’m 5-9 with a 31″ inseam. Had a 2008 MV and it was just right. You will find though that stand over height is a bit high and you will be slightly “clothes lining” but that’s more to do with the Marin high BB. iIRc there are only 3 sizes anyway and the medium is right for your height although you won’t get big stand over clearance.

    Ok thanks, sounds like a medium will be ok then, I’ll probably compromise on the stand over height. Small size used full sussers are not as common as mediums anyway. Cheers for the advice guys

    I have a 2009 wolf ridge, I’m 5’2″ and ride the small/15.5″ frame.
    Its perfect in everything but Standover height, hardly any free space there but I’m used to that. 27″ inside leg. Bike still as stock apart from a Spesh command post dropper.
