I might have the opportunity to buy a Meta 4x. It looks like the bike I'm after, but i have one small reservation?
I'm 6' (nearly) and have long legs. The 4x has only a 15" seat tube. Even if i can get along enough seatpost, what will be like to pedal?
Do any tallish people have any experience??
i ride a morewood nzida,same dimensions, def make sure 'long' mod and be prepared to ride out of saddle quite a bit! otherwise if you arnt planning great big xc rides they are the most fun ever! get it AND a xc...
Pegglet, cheers, for that.
Can you explain the end of your post "get it AND a xc..."?
I am 6'2" and was warned off the 4x by my friendly local bike shop owner. I'd get a demo if you can.
If anybody has any suggestions for a 4x style bike with a relatively tall seat angle I would love to hear them!!!
My girlfriend had a Meta 4X, i'm just over 6ft, and it was horrible to ride. She is about half a foot shorter than me & she hated it for pedalling around. It wasn't even that good for 4X. Far too heavy.
She liked my little bike (Blur 4X) so much she got one of them instead. For two bikes 'tagged' as the same they are very different indeed.
The Blur really is a brilliant little bike 🙂
