[Closed] What size chameleon do you ride?

Was looking at their sizing charts, and it says that for my height (5"7) I should be riding a medium - which only has a 16" seat tube, which sounds a bit short. How tall are you, and what size do you ride?

5'10" on a medium (mk4) but am thinking now it's too small

Depends what you'll use it for, mate's got a Cham. and is under an inch shy of 6ft, he used it for Hardtail DH and had a medium which was perfect, still has the medium but it's xc/trail kit now and he'd rather a large...

5'8" and a small is perfect for ripping up the trails.

Did a 76km enduro and a 12 solo on it, no comfort issues..

5' 11" on a medium (latest model) - a wee bit shortish but better to flick around and launch off stuff, and it loves that style of riding.

Put a thomson layback on it - perfect!

5 foot 11 and I had a large. It was too big for razzing round the woods for a couple of hours - shoulda got the medium.

Moral? Depends what you want it for - razzing, go smaller; XC, go bigger.

6' and I have a large frame. Use it more for XC than downhill and I reckon it fits me perfectly. Also had slicks on it for commuting and just away to go for a tour using a trailer.

I used to ride medium- prefer it to be honest but Im err 6ft2. Dont know why but mediums seems soo much more alive/whippy than a large- almost as though the large's figures dont work as well?

Depends on what you want to use it for, and how tall you are, surely?

I know- but (for me) it feels ungainly compared to the medium. Its not just numbers as some smaller frames just feel wrong- the medium chameleon seems 'right'.
