MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Hey everyone,
I made a post a few days ago asking for some advice about a bike and I've now decided which one to go for, but I've got a bit of a dilemma I need some advice with.
I've decided to go for the [url= https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBOOPWX5/on-one-parkwood-sram-x5-mountain-bike ]On-One Parkwood[/url] and the sizing guide says 5'2 to 5'8 for small and 5'8 to 6'0 for medium, I'm exactly 5'8 on the dot and really not sure what frame to go for.
Are there any Parkwood owners here or anyone that can give me some advice on which size to go for? I have no idea what I'm doing haha.
Thanks in advance!
bike size helps if you have leg length, reach and proportions especially if you are on the edge
Are you all leg with a short top half or long top and short legs ?
This would be the deciding factor - personally, I'd always take the smaller of the two.
Just took my measurements, I've got 81cm inner leg, 56cm reach and 56cm torso length, this is such a tough decision...
Medium. It's a short bike in the top tube. Brilliant though!
Does it stand tall because I find that a lot of medium frames sit quite high for me, my brothers new specialized rockhopper is a medium and it feels big
Why not compare its geometry to bikes you've ridden?
