Well my dream frame arrived.
A Kinesis Sync.
Strictly on trial mind for size.
Top tube dimensions and headtube were fine.
Teeny 19.5 seat tube maybe not.
Got a 400mm post but barely two or three Inches past the top tube intersection.
Probably be ok but still a little disconcerting the amount of the post hanging out of the frame!
Am I being a picky git?
After much consideration it has gone back and back to the drawing board!
How much would you consider safe in the frame?
Other than that maybe a Stanton Sherpa ti or something custom by Brant?
Thanks,
Max

You’ll be fine.

Fit a dropper maybe?

Thanks wwaswas!?
I will be fitting a dropper but also a normal post for xc racing.
May look toward a 21″ frame.
Stanton looks good but a large head tube.

Even on a 19″ frame (@6’2″) I was having to run flat bars and a negative 10degree stem to get the bars low enough for xc racing….looks quick though.

Yes,same height and also flipped stem and flat bars.
Currently riding an XL Giant XTC 29 with a 120mm headtube.
Don’t want to go higher.
Stanton in XL is 140mm.
Seat tubes seem to be an issue with us taller folk!
Thanks,
Max
