Was/still considering a 09 enduro, but have also seen a V nice 09 Stumpy.

Sorry, along way from 'big stores' up here so struggling to try em all out size wise.

so …..M or L (I'm 5'11") for a Stumpy ?

Cheers 🙂

L

I feared as much, the sale bike I've seen is a bloody M !

Definitely L, they come up very short in TT length so you'll appreciate the extra stretch from a large, I would even consider getting a large and i'm only 5ft 8

I'm 6ft and you would need a L, unless you have short arms and legs in which case the M may be ok but whatever you should try……

But I'm 6ft and feel comfy on a medium – it is a 2005, but I'm sure they haven't changed the geometry that much.

It's all down to how you like your bikes. I like them quite whippy and chuckable, but you may prefer it more stretched out.

Cheers guys

I asked the same question about the enduro, and everyone shouted M, so it just shows ya.

Looks like a trip to the bright lights to try a few bikes out is called for!
Still also got an Enduro, a La pierre zesty, Cannondale Rize 140 on the radar

Cheers

I'm 5'10" and ride a 2009 medium. Wouldn't want it any bigger myself!

Seems like the only conclusion is that you'll need to sit on one.

i'm 5ft11 and have average proportions – my 07 sworks is a medium and fits perfectly.

I've a medium 2007 FSR and have always felt it is a tad too large for me when it really matters.
I'm 5'8" but with stumpy (pun intended) legs.

You need to give one a try but don't give up hope on the Medium working out I think.

I tried the medium Zesty, and the 2010 stumpjumper fsr, an EX8 2010 17.5" and I bought a Cannondale RZ140, awesome bike !

Enjoy test riding them its worth the expense to make sure you get the right bike, I am well chuffed with my choice 😀
