[Closed] show me your rocklobster 853

Hi
I dont have any pictures but I am 6ft and ride a 19".
Bought it second hand off here a few years ago and sold it to a mate when I bought a Hummer.
Regretted it straight away and bought it back off him cheap last year when he stopped riding.
Lovely frame and the only bike I have regretted selling so far.
Its looking a bit tatty now cos I used it during the winter but will get some TLC soon.
Cheers
Steve

I'm 6ft 1 " with a 32" leg torn between 17.5 and the 19

I have a 32" leg too-would'nt go for the 17.5 personally but all my bikes are "large".
I currently have a Reba 100mm fork on but it feels too low at the front so thinking about something a bit longer.
I have a 130mm Revelation doing nothing so might try this but may be too long.
Cheers
Steve

Brother got a 19.5 Merlin and its spot on at 6-1, 34 leg

Lovely little bike.

I am 6'1" and had a 19" Malt4. I would recommend going with the 17". For anything other than ploughing through xc miles it felt too big.

5'8" & have a 17. Fits like a glove! Great bike! 😆

6ft 1 with a 19" Rock Lobster. Around a 33" inside leg. Mine is the aluminium one. Great bike and loves going fast.

Rubbish paint job though so going to get some new stickers and once I can't stand it any longer give it a new colour.

Anyone here riden both a Inbred and a 853 Rock Lobster, care to tell us how they compare?

Is the RL BB lower?

Ta

5'7" and had a 17"...but could have gone for either that or the 15". My first proper MTB and i loved it, but sold it year or so ago to get more overbiked gnar.
