Normally buy a 18" frame, so not sure what I would do given the choice of a 17.5" or an 18.5". Also a bit confused about Trek having virtual and actual frame sizes; differing accounts of whether Trek quote virtual or actual and which you should use.
Anyway, in the absence of trying one on for size, which I would do, I was thinking 18.5 would give me the option of running a shorter stem fro extra DH with no trade-off against uphill?
Thoughts?
I'm 5'10" btw and I would want to be able to fly up hills as well as down please.
