Hi

I'm interested in buying a new Trek Rumblefish 29er, I've tried a 19" and this seems OK but I'd like to compare it with a 21" and can't find a shop that has this size in stock. I'm told that 2013 bikes in the larger sizes aren't arriving in the UK until after Xmas. Is there anyone out there within a couple of hours drive from Harrogate that has a 21" Rumblefish that I can just sit on to get a feel for the size?
Thanks

Mike

You tried big bear bikes in Pickering ? Think they have a big one in.

Yes, I 've tried the 19" at Chevin, but unfortunately they don't have a 21"

Hi I'm 6'1" with 32" inside leg - I've read mixed comments about the Rumblefish size, some people my height say they like the 19 as its better on more technical stuff, whilst others prefer the more rangy feel of the 21". The top tube of the Rumblefish is a little shorter than other 19" 29ers so it has a slightly more upright feel. It might just be that change thats bothering me, but I'd like to give a 21" a try to be sure

Cheers

Rumblefish Al elite in 21 is in stock at Trek uk.

Pro is Mid January.

I would think 21 would be better. will be similar to a 20"
