[Closed] Giant XTC Sizing

Medium sounds perfect to me. I'm 6ft 3" and ride a Large (20")

when u say medium , do you mean an 18?

Ta

I'm 5'9" and have a 2007 xtc in 16" guise and it's border line for feeling to small for me so I guess you should be okay.

Worth trying for size if you can.

Edit, it was a 17" small. 😳

I'm 5'7", just under a 31" inside leg - had 2 of the 17" XTC frames at various times, that used to be Giant's 'Small' size.

Im 5, 10 and had 2 XTC's both Medium great bikes, what one you getting..?

either a 2009 XTC1, or I may stretch to a 2009 xtc Allinace 1, or a 2010 xtc 1

blatant plug- i am selling a brand new Carbon XTC 2009 medium, from warranty E-mail me if you are interested. Frame only and about 50% off the old retail price =)

Cheers, but not interested in building up a bike, 🙁

Ive just got a XTC 1 '09 from Pauls cycles (cycle to work) great bike BUT forks are already on route back to Sram after Poploc stopped working after 2nd ride and the front end seems like it needs better bars as its got big flex issue... oh and I snapped the hanger off on ride 3 just after I snapped the chain.... The frame is great but the components seem a bit on the cheap side..

I'm 5'4 and 30in leg - 16in carbon alliance XTC here.

Kev

Blimey, I was gonna get one from Pauls Cycles too

strange it may seem, an xtc 1 medium measures as a 18 inch frame, but for some reason the xtc alliance medium measures as a 17 inch frame. check the giant website. golden rule get a test ride before you buy and try both sizes out.

The trouble is that the bike is on offer, from Pauls in Norfolk, I live on the boeder of mid wales.

There are none of these around my neck of the woods:(

Just to throw a small spanner in the works.
Sizing may be year dependent;
2009 xtc. 16" - 574 top tube
2010 xtc. 15" - 575 top tube
2010 xtc 17" - 595 top tube

Personally a 595 top tube might be a tad long for your height.

2009 and earlier sizes 16" 18" 20"
2010 and on sizes 15" 17" 19"

I'm 5'7" (don't know inside leg) and have a 17" (2007) XTC 4.5. Running a 4" travel fork it is a bit tight on standover height (about 1.5"). So 16" should be ok. Reach wise the frames have a stretched out top tube, so you shouldn't feel cramped. But I've got a 350mm Carbon seatpost, which is at it's minimum insertion level. So if you get a 16", make sure you have/get a 400mm seatpost if you want to have an efficient/XC saddle height.

Yeah its been on offer for ages, well I got mine on November they told me theyve got LOADS of 'em..
Once I get the old forks fixed Im going to slap a pair of Fox on the front and Im sure it will be fine...

yeah you should be fine,
I've got a 17in small frame 2006-ish
i'm 5'9"/10" and feel I am on the cusp,
here's mine showing the amount of post[img] [/img]

Mines a medium and measures 17.5" C-T.
I'm 5'8" and as you can see there's plenty of post out.

Can't tempt you, selling frame, World Cups and Crossrides in the ad right now.

I'm selling mine and it's a medium- the sticker says suitable for riders 5'7-5'11

I'm on the 2010 XTC1 large 20" So I think Medium is 18" either way medium is what you want.

I'm just over 5-10 and ride an M with a 90mm stem.
the bike fits me better than any other I have ridden.

cheers all,
