Hello
I've searched the forums for info on tall riders who have these bikes, found a couple of threads for the Planet X XLS but no one who's this tall who rides a Dirty Disco.
Any thoughts on both these bikes would be appreciated regarding the size of the XL bikes, I'm wanting to order one very soon and they seem great bikes & value according to other riders.
Cheers
Johnny
I'm 6'5" and ride a CX with around 580mm top tube with a 100mm stem. Works for me. I also looked at an XLS and DD and would have gone for the XL in either of those by my reckoning.
Hi nemesis
Thanks for the quick reply, what inside leg are you, I'm roughly 34-35"....?
The DD looks to have 576mm effective top tube where the XLS has around 568mm, the DD is the one I'm leaning towards.
Cheers

35" give or take so pretty similar.

Do you not have an existing road or CX bike?
Nice bike, nice view....what frame is that....?
I have a custom made Hewitt Audax style bike made to measure for big rides and comfort, but it's like a farm gate so I can only go by part of it's geometry as it's a 64cm frame C-T.........
Cheers
It's a China direct one from Miracle / ICAN - model is "MC098" - search on that on here and you'll find several threads.
It's set up a fair bit shorter (about 4-5cm overall) and higher than my road bike but that works for me for riding off road.
Isn't all the geo on the website?
6"3" with a 34" inside leg. I find the xl Disco a fine size,pics including an idea of saddle height on this review I posted. It is ace and light,I now have Rocket Rons on it and it goes anywhere. DD was longer than the XLS and prettier..
