Hi All

I am 5' 10 and a bit tall, and I am wondering what size I should go for.

Thanks for your help.

Ed

Can't tell you what size to buy, but I'm 5'11" and ride a large. I'd say I've got a long body & short arms & legs, but I use an 80mm stem and wide bars and it feels great....

Ah ....I'm 5'11" with a long body/ short legs and I ride a medium sov, I had a lot of trouble finding the correct size in the end I put the dims of my cotic soul next to the dims of the evil and it was plain to see, did the same last year when I bought a sc heckler , I like short stems currently run 70mm on both the evil and the heckler, I also favour a shorter bike over a gate,

Try getting all the sizes and comparing with your current ride, hope that helps

5'10" on a medium with a 60mm stem fits perfectly for me.

Does the new 4130 version take a standard 1 1/8" headset or have they gone integrated ...?

according to the CRC blurb it reckons integrated, but mine has a normal HT

Yes, that's what confused me - I had an original 853 and this was a normal HT, but looked slightly flared as though integrated, and the newer ones look the same, but there's nothing about them on the Evil (crappest in the world) website.

mine's a 2010, the headset looks flared but it's nothing more than two bands of thicker steel either end
sort of like a dumbbell if you like, normal headset,

i emailed gabe and kevin at Evil with questions before committing to buy, they were very approachable despite having the crappest website in the world.
