Anyone riding a medium or a large Space Chicken? I'm 6ft tall, 33.5 inside leg and longish arms. Sizing on the website puts me just into a large, wondered how it measures up. Coming from a mountain bike background so new to this style, shape of bike.
Thanks

I'd say the sizing is pretty good, I'm 6ft 3in on an XL.

You could also go for the XL.

Coming from an MTB, anything moderately modern, it will feel ****ing tiny at first. My 2 bikes have 1031mm and 1269mm wheelbases and after a while it only takes a few yards before you adapt.

Thanks for the reply Tall Paul. What's it like as a bike? And what kind of riding do you do in terms of off road any cyclo-cross?

It's great, weighs 9.6kg with pedals set up tubeless. I use it for local riding, commuting etc. so roads, back roads, fire roads, mellow singletrack. I fancy taking it to my local 'red' trails at some point and seeing what time I can set 😁 Mine is the force 1 version.

That is a nice looking bike. I don't know why, but I like it.
