Ive used a mates large and it was a bit long with 100mm mav stem, the medium was a bit short but only ridden once or twice and was ages ago. im 5 10 what are most folk that height riding?
so smallerer with layback post or bigger and 70/80mm stem? gut is to go smaller, more fun possibly
5' 11" + a bit, riding a medium + it fits like a glove. TBH its not like you're sitting down allot, this jallopy loves to be hammered + anything too big would lose that chuckable singletrack magic. One of the best cornering bikes ever IMHO.
I'd have thought a medium,like you say, more fun. The original brown one comes with a shoter stem on the medium as well.
is that Dave?
nearly 5'10" on a 17.5" here with a layback post and 80mm stem.
it is Dave yeah! Badger rather than Chops but a Dave nontheless, hope you're doing well
i didnt get a chance to ride spaz' when he was in madrid but i think probably medium is the way to go (annoyingly guy selling a frame and rear wheel has a large)
cheers everyone, confirmed what i feared, need to find a med frame only or someone who wants some 29er mavericks and a front wheel
Heya, good here. You?
Have you asked Matt if he's selling his from this year?
im good thanks but snowed with uni work, i havent asked him actually i sent him an abusive text a few days ago but not sure its the right number. i should get hold of him and see how hes getting on but ill be totally honest here re. the bike- i hate that new paintjob, there i said it. i know, im very vain 
If you buy it (matts one) beaware the muppet wrote "Transwales Singlespeed Winner 2009" on the top tube on the last day this year 
lol, there was some pretty interesting stuff added to his last paintjob when he went to bed at 24/12 'matt the spaz' was the least of it 
This years colour really grew on me, but yes the Travis Brown/Copper/ginger beer is great!
The pen wiped straight off with a little GT85.
Cool, when i lobbed it in a skip one morning he wasn't happy!
I rode a medium and i'm 5'8, top tube was spot on but would have liked more stand over. I've sold mine on but it was completly battered this year.
My old maverick one DaveElls (i think thats his user name) bought from me was selling a while ago bought a Jones
yeah i tried the person he sold it to but they wanted to keep it, i think. ive emailed a lot of people! i do know of one but the guy wont post it for less than 60 quid and doesnt want me to collect it, he said i was a lot of hassle so i got the hump.
EDIT: so shaggy you're saying we need to engrave his bike...
actually i think i will tap matt about his, could always get it resprayed at some stage
