looking at getting a hardtail and want a bike similar in size looking at the cove handjob at the mo but not sure on the 17.5 or 19.5 I'm 6ft. 1 " 32" leg , tried the altitude 17.5 ht and that felt about right , cheers

bump

have 18 inch five and medium Soul. Soul feels slightly longer but it's built that way. Feels comfortable going from one to the other

I've an 18" Orange 5 and a 17" P7. If Orange did an 18" P7 I'd have that, but 19" is too big.

I have a 50cm Kinesis XC2 and Medium XCPro3 (well hopefully this week 😉 ) and 18" Five

18" Five, 17.5" Genesis IO (although when I replace it with a Ti-IO it'll probably be a 19", even though the IO reach feels OK).

Had a 17" P7, a 17.5" Hustler and a 17.5" Handjob (2007/8) and they were all a little short (although bizarrely I got on really well with the older 2006 Handjob with shorter forks).

I'm 6ft, 32" inside leg.

18" five , 18" inbred @ 5`10" with 31 inside leg.

I have an Orange p7S for sale, it has sliding drop outs but has the rohloff ones in as I used to run one.
Size is 17" and it's in matt black.

u want a smaller hardtail than full sus cos ur legs need to soak the bumps up…ie. i ride 18 inch full sus's and a 16 inch inbred.

I had a 2009 five in 18" and now have a large blur ltc – I went through the same debate – I chose a 17" P7 as the 19" would be too big to be fun!

I'm 5 11 with 32" legs BTW

18" 5 ('06 & '07)
17" '98 Clockwork, '03 Gringo, '98 Scott Peak hardtail

18" 5, 16" Inbred, 17" Lobster and i'm 5'9" with long legs.

17" Rockhopper 07

im 5ft 11, ive got a 19.5 inch handjob works for me, also had a 19inch handjob which suited me fine..
