Ok toying with the idea of a new DW 5-Spot but bang on the cross-over between Large and XL.
So a quick poll, if you're around 6 ft and you ride a DW 5-spot what size have you got.
Cheers, Geoff
6ft (or just a little under) and a large.
Which is also for sale again as first buyer never got round to paying 😡
Mint 2009 with only a handful of rides on it.....email in profile. Will be a good price for condition.
I am 5ft 11 and ride a medium.
Friend I ride with bought a large and is same height, having sought Dave Turners opinion on sizing.
The head tube and seat tube on the large were a lot longer than the medium and meant that you couldn't get the bars as low or the seat as low when using it for more playful DH type riding.
I am on the limit of my seat post extension, but it fits fine. I prefer a smaller bike (in a bmx stylie) to chuck around.
The 2009 model (which is what I have) has a steeper HA than the 2011 which got tweaked. I run an angle set in mine to slacken the HA off by 1.5degrees and its made the world of difference, also a good bike to fit a CCDB shock to - really transformed it.
I suspect your be better on a large as the biggest option, rather than XL, assuming you are very close to 6ft.
Hope this helps.
I'm a whisker under 6ft and on a large. Short stem too and it feels perfect to me. I wouldn't want a longer top tube.
thanks for the input, I'm erring on the large as I don't like big bikes and ride the smallest I can sensibly get away with.
I'm 6' and just swapped from a Med HL 5-spot to a large...
