[#548566]

Thinking of getting an Alpine frame from Mike at Dialled but unsure whether the 15.5/21 frame will be too small. I'm 5'8". It will be used as a 'messing about in the woods' sort of bike really for steep drops and messing about...

Anyone else running this size who is my height? What is everyone else on?

Pictures are always nice aren't they

Do a search, there's been a few threads about the Alpine and at least one about sizing (IIRC).

5'10", 15.5/22, 140 Pikes, 70mm stem, layback post (old RF XY).

Like it. Not ridden it enough to say anything much more. No pics ๐Ÿ™

5' 9.5"

I bought a 15.5" / 22". Absolutely cracking bike. However I prefer a little more room so mines stripped and will be up in the classifieds as soon as I get around to taking pictures.

I would recommend the Alpine unreservedly and if I could afford to keep a rack of more than two bikes at any one time it would be going nowhere.
