    Just that really. At 6’4″ and leggy, I seem to be between XL and XXL.

    What do you call ‘leggy’? What is your standover height?

    They ride small. I’m 5.10 (an annoying crossover height) and demoed a large, and would not want to go smaller.

    I am 6’3″ and long in the legs. I ride an xl and I have the saddle rather high. So I would say you would be xxl.

    Does sound like folk need to ignore the sizing and buy based on ‘fit’.

    Which tbh is correct. Are they short in the TT too?

    I actually looked at the geometry before asking a question. The difference in reach between the XL & XXL is 0.8″ so no great shakes.

    FWIW, I ride an XL at 6’4″.. Saddle is quite high, but bike fits me perfectly.

    Can’t get near them to try and seen a deal on a frame. Standover is 35/36″.
    Do you have one tootall?

    No – looked at them but went for a Turner Sultan because I could get to actually test ride one of them.

    How do you rate the sultan and what size is it?

    I’ve got the Sasquatch/XXL/23″ Sultan – but I’m 6’7″ with simian arms and a 40″ standover. It is the most capable bike I’ve ever owned, does everything brilliantly and will outlast me. Not very stretched out but I have a short stem on it for now, still comfortable all day and is my 2-wheeled monster truck. Weighs 30lbs all up and it isn’t a weeny build.
