[#3775366]

Right, so I have decided to get a new HT frame to replace my current frame (Carrera Fury 09). Reason for change is that my current frame is too small (see [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bike-sizing-too-small-photo ]Link[/url])

I do a mixture of XC and trail riding (Surrey Hills / Swinley).

My issue is that im 6'5 and require an XL frame with a long TT.

Any suggestions?

(I like the on-one frames but they dont offer an XL!)

Can I be the first to say 29er?

Maybe a Canyon?

For gods sake some one lend him a 29-er to try!

I've seen you other thread, so understand you don't just want one to look right, but loads of tall bloke on here have converted & not looked back, that can't be just down to looks.

Just demo one, one of your local shops must have one (shhh... even if you not going to buy it), or even some-one on here would happily let you try their's.
Some-one in Surrey must have one you can try!

and if you don't get on with it.. well then just get you XXL 26-er.
