Looking for some advice on which size of Rallon to plump for. I am rght on the cusp of M and L. I have conpared the measurements versus other bikes and again they largely fall in the middle of the 2!!!! I have had a sit on a M and it certainly felt OK. Don't know if the large would better with as short a stem as I can fit. Any owners out there with real world experience. I am 6 foot tall and my riding is primarily steep and technical in the Tweed Vally but I would be using it for ll sorts of stuff except pure XC days.

Cheers

I ride a medium with a 35mm stem. I am 5' 8" with relatively short legs/long body and I reckon this is the first bike I've had that properly fits me. I would suggest trying a large.

I'm 5 foot 10 and ride a medium with 50mm stem.

I reckon at 6 foot you should be on the large.

Taz I ride tweed valley quite a lot and am based north Glasgow. I've a large and am 6ft and it's perfect. 35mm apex stem, 780mm carbon bars and 170mm cranks. It's a 2015 so 5mm shorter than the 2016 and no boost (thankfully), and I've got 170mm Lyriks on there which are way better than the 160mm Pikes I had at first.

5'9" (and a half if we're being pedantic) and on a medium with 50mm stem.

Best fitting medium I've owned so would have said large, but as always demoing them will give you the best idea.

Right choice! I'm 5'10" and on M, my two guides are 5'11" with long legs and 6" and they are both on large.
