Anyone on here ride a Spesh pitch? I'm 5' 9" with a 29" inside leg. Would like to know if a small frame would fit me?
Also if there is anyone local to me that has one I could sit on in either small or medium.
Monmouth or FOD area.
Would be appreciated.

I'm 6ft and ride a Medium, I think the sizes generaly come up quite big, but the steep seat angle means a layback post's needed unless you never sit down and all your climbs are uber techy.

5'8 and on a medium here. Tried a small and it would have been ok with a lot of seat post showing - think it would have been a little cramped for longish XC rides, but probably more 'chuckable' for DH ish stuff.

I'm actually near the FOD this week, booked on the uplift on Wednesday. If you're about then you could happily have a go on mine.

5.10 here on a medium, and its spot on!
I think they are long rather than big.

Hi Widge. Try Bumpy's mates Bob and Ruth, their lads got a medium one I think. They live in the Ross area and ride the Yat a fair bit with Bumpy.

If you have no luck I will probably be up FOD Saturday after Easter.
