have u ever tried the 19.5 samurui ? I'm two inches taller than you so thinking got to the 19.5 the top tube on the 17.5 is 1" 3 m m shorter than on my orange 5 so thinking it could be to short, but I'm concerned about standover on the 19.5 . how do people find the standover with a 32" Levin the 19 ? cheers
*levin should be leg , dam phone ! ha
nope but I expect it would feel too big for me (long legs, short body). The 17.5 fits me perfectly, I reckon you could get away with either myself but you'd probably be happier with the 19.5.
This won't help at all but I'm just a tad taller than samuri and went for the 19.5 - mate had the 17.5 and I found it cramped. Mine is an older frame though ~ 2006 - the geometry has changed since I think?
nah geomtry is the same I think , going for the 19.5 thanks for eveyones input
TO be fair if you;re 6'1" I'd get the 19.5 as the 17.5" is nice for me at 5'11" with a 90mm stem and a slight layback(Raceface Deus) post
im 5ft 11 and have a 19.5 inch frame on my hand job , it fits me fine..
