Hello there
I'm getting closer to clicking buy on a new Salsa el Mariachi but am still unsure about sizing: at 5'11" with 32" inside leg I'm on the borderline between medium and large. At the moment I'm leaning towards the large but was just wondering what size other people had gone for and how they'd found it.
Thanks in advance.
Matt
6'1" and on a large here. Fits very nicely with a 90mm stem at the moment.

6' here with 32" inside leg and the medium fits me fine.
Thanks guys. Nice looking bike Rob!
Do you have a photo of yours you could post up please Stu? It would be useful to see how it looks in terms of seatpost / stem etc.
It's not actualy my bike it's Mrsssstu's though i do ride it from time to time.
She's 5'10" with a slightly longer inside leg than me and has the seat about 1" higher. 90mm stem BTW
Here it is with the seat height set for her.

Thanks Stu!
5 9& 1/2, 31 & 1/2 inside leg. mine is medium with a 75mm stem. i would say you'd be better off on a medium.
Hmm dilemmas now... I think I'll have to take a drive down to Charlie's to try for size before committing either way.
i would say you'd be better off on a medium.
I'd totaly agree with that too.
Id say medium as im 6ft 3 and found a large - large !
Cracking bike though - i borrowed one for a day and t was like a big bmx 
That sounds pretty conclusive trail_rat! I want something for very long days out and bikepacking so this looks perfect.
Whats the verdict on how they ride
Bare in mind seat tube lengths are an inch shorter on the El Mariach 2 so a medium has a 17" st (opposed to 18" on older El Mariachi) which may leave too much seat post if you are long of leg.
im 5,9 and got a spearfish in medium.the fit is great so id go for a medium.it gives you more standover than a large for the really steep downy bits.
