    No, not at 5’6″ but having converted my 26 rigid bike to a 69er I’d like a rigid specific 29er, something designed to run a 440mm fork to keep the front low enough.

    What size is right for riding a 29er then?

    These 26 v 29 threads are getting very dull. It looks like wheel size choice is here to stay, just accept it and move on.

    Im only 5’6″ and ride a medium inbred 29er – tried a small but was too small (officially too small as agreed by the guys at on-one). Its comfy and I have done over 3k miles on it …. I bet if I did post a pic you’d still say it was too big.

    Personally I ride what feels right not what someone else tell me looks right, isnt that how we should judge our bikes?

    hmmmmm shortcut isn’t so small as the name would suggest. An accident during a vasectomy perhaps?

    actually looks massive on me, maybe a little black number in 26″ would show off my curves better?

    you’ll be wanting that frame back 1 day Taz. It’s still in the box at the mo, squawk if the pain gets too much.

    Nobody realises that my Sultan is a 23″ frame – it looks so good and in proportion for me.

    Haven’t got any pics but the guys i ride with who berate me for having big wheels often relent and comment that it looks all normal in proportion when i’m riding it. I’m a smidge over 6ft 3 for what its worth.
