I keep thinking a fat bike would suit me 😳
That looks amazing....but too big for her....but she can probably outpace most of us...so....good for her. Who is she?
Salsa do 14" & 15" 29er frames.
How very dare you not think its me.........Willow Kerber 🙁

No. Even planning getting rid of 2 26'ers.....for another 26'er.
Is that a 20" wheel yer riding ole cock?
Stoner you look way better on the 29er 😉 .
No, not at 5'6" but having converted my 26 rigid bike to a 69er I'd like a rigid specific 29er, something designed to run a 440mm fork to keep the front low enough.

Me on my 29'er HT

Stoner....bit tall aren't you. 😯
Should have taken up basketball!
What size is right for riding a 29er then?
These 26 v 29 threads are getting very dull. It looks like wheel size choice is here to stay, just accept it and move on.
Im only 5'6" and ride a medium inbred 29er - tried a small but was too small (officially too small as agreed by the guys at on-one). Its comfy and I have done over 3k miles on it .... I bet if I did post a pic you'd still say it was too big.
Personally I ride what feels right not what someone else tell me looks right, isnt that how we should judge our bikes?
Can't believe that nan Niels ride was nearly 4 Years ago Ton!!
Wors...........it was a good day, as were all the STW rides.
some folk look ok on a big bike.

Cheeky!
Crikey.Tony 😆
hmmmmm shortcut isn't so small as the name would suggest. An accident during a vasectomy perhaps?
you'll be wanting that frame back 1 day Taz. It's still in the box at the mo, squawk if the pain gets too much.
it looked soooooo pretty 😥
Nobody realises that my Sultan is a 23" frame - it looks so good and in proportion for me.
Stoner is the only one allowed a 29er.

Me on a 21" inbread at last years tonyas challange. Am sticking with 26 wheels for full suss till they get to 15omm travel.
Haven't got any pics but the guys i ride with who berate me for having big wheels often relent and comment that it looks all normal in proportion when i'm riding it. I'm a smidge over 6ft 3 for what its worth.
Dont know why i cant link the pic followed the help insrtutions, prob cause i dont own the flickr account but itsfree to share.
I remember having a conversation with a rep from cube telling me I was too small for a 29er 🙁 So I had a frame made
I'm 5ft 2
So where do you start with that picture of tazzymtb -
Boy band sleeveless t-shirt
Lycra leggings
Or (& worst of all) suspension forks to ride around a field !!!!

Emac I know it's shocking isn't it. You missed out the ugly fat middle aged bit though chap...very disappointed in you 🙂
6'4" odd, so i guess a 29er would fit. Wont be getting one though I would like to try one, but only for a short ride. When i made the switch from 20" to 26" it took a while to get used to the giant wheels. When I went back to the bmx, i found it far too small and nervous, which was a real shame. I didn't give myself a chance to get used to it again and stopped riding it altogether. I don't want that to happen again as i have 3 great 26" bikes with no plans to change.
It's alright Euro,it's not an exclusive club & you're still allowed to carry on riding 26" wheeled bikes..I do 🙂
Although some do seem to think it's an all or nothing thing 🙄
