[Closed] Scandal sizing question

I'm only a bit taller (5'11") and I'd go for the 18". I ride* an 18" Inbred and have ridden an 18" TD-1 (both designed by Brant).

*until it was nicked the other week

try and have a go on one. Where are you based? Someone might have one near you.

My mate has a 16" inbred, are they similar geometry?

Yes exact same geometry to the current inbred!

5'11" on an 18" Scandal with 100mm stem & very loooong lay back seatpost - I would say 18" for sure.

I'm 5'11" with a 34" inside leg and I ride an 18" Scandal 29er, admittedly I use a short stem and Fleegle bars that do have a big back sweep though.

Where do you live? You're welcome to have a go on my Scandal if your anywhere near South Yorks.

I'm in Cheshire or London if anyone has one I could sit on

Steve - I'm reading if that's any good to you (30mins from landaan if you are near paddington)

I'd say a medium, I'm 5'7.5" and ride a 16 with a 70mm stem and have a 31" inside leg and have lots of post showing

I have a 16" Scandal and 30" inside leg on a good day. Running a 350mm seat post at maximum extension (100mm in the frame).
.
So I would say definitely go for the 18" as recommended above.
.
On-one recommend a shorter stem of 70-90mm. I run a 100mm which feels way too long so changing it soon for a 70mm.

Thanks for the advice guys, reckon I'll plump for the 18". I've got a 90mm Thomson that'll go on it, just need the post to match as I've only got a 31.6 spare

Would you say a Scandal is a better frame than a Boardman Team/Pro?

Hi Steve

Yes I'd say it's better. I used to have a boardman pro and it's finished lovely but the scandal is just more, dunno, keen when ridden.

The scandal is slightly slacker too from memory.
