[#8441241]

Considering trying to source a T130 but a bit concerned over sizing.
I'm pretty much bang on 6 foot so 183cm. Whyte suggest a L is the right size for me but I seem to remember Whyte frames being a tad odd size wise...
What size is everyone else riding?
Cheers

At 179 a medium 905 fits me perfectly. Very tempted by a 130 and would go the same size again.

At 6ft, if you were anything other than a Large on the T-130, I'd be very surprised.

6ft2 seems to be the point to upsize to XL (should you wish to), and 5ft10 downsize to M...

Im 5ft 6 and ride a small which is perfect with a 125mm dropper. Mines a 2015 model though so might size slightly differently now.

I'm 5'10" (and 1/2") and touch and go between medium and small.

I tried both and the medium is [u]only just [/u]for me but I have shortish legs for my height

Same height and i run a 2015 Medium. Apparently it looks too small, but i tried the Large and it felt too big for me.

5'9'' and ride a medium T130 (also had a medium t129)- fits like a glove.

I'm 6' 1" and ride a Large - 2 years ago it was the biggest they did. Fits well but I have a serious amount of seatpost showing and the handlebar is about 2" lower than my saddle height. Rides far better than I do and fits well, but it does look 'small'.

5'10.5" and a 2016 T130RS. Medium fit is ideal. Super bike, very solid and reassuring.

6ft 2" and I ride an XL T130. 170mm dropper about 50mm out of frame. I do have long legs.

I'm 5'11 on a large 2017.
I've got short legs and long back and arms
Tried the medium and the large - not much in it for me but I prefer a longer toptube.
Mind the reverb is right down to the frame (might be worth considering
Coming from a Medium Soul - the standover and reach is much better.

Great bike - so much so I'm selling my Cotic Soul (which I would of never of thought of doing)

5'11 here 2017 model went for large. Medium had a far too short top tube, i felt like i was sitting upright and would be pitched over the bars first chance.

keen to hear more of your thoughts on this as since getting a 2017 Anthem, which is similar, though not quite as low and long as the Whyte, I am finding adapting back to a 2013 Soul 26'er (with 120 reba's) quite awkward....

Picked up a large RS on Saturday and it fits perfect.
Thanks for all the feedback.
