Hi, looking to find one of these, do you think I could get away with an 18" model being 6'3" with 34" inside leg. These seem to be the only size left in the universe!!
Cheers Evilsea

Yeah I reckon you'd be about right on one, I'm 5'11 and I ride a 16"!

Not sure... I'm 5 10 and 32 inch inside leg, and ride a medium and it's the right size. Brant'll tell you otherwise I'm sure but I had a 16 on his advice and it was obviously too small from the first ride (little details like a 400mm seatpost not being long enough). The 18 is spot on for me.

And it is brilliant btw. Not brilliantly made, the brake mounts are seriously on the piss frinstance, but it rides fantastic.

If you do get an 18", get it here:

i'm having this battle. I'm 5'9 with 32 inch leg and have ridden an 18 and it felt okay. I'd love to compare this to a 16"

I'm 5'9 with 32 inch leg and ride a 16" blue pig. It rocks. the 18" looks like a gate, too.

I'm 5'11 and have a 18" and feels spot on. I have quite a long body though.

I can but advise as best I know. Certainly with me being 6'2" and riding an 18in, I always think someone 4in smaller shouldn't be on the same size frame, but it's good to know they're adaptable.

I'm 5'11" with long legs and a short body, I have an 18" and plenty of seat post showing.

The 20" feels - and looks - pretty big. It fitted me at 6'4" with relatively short legs, but I don't think an 18" would have felt too small.
