    Emac I know it’s shocking isn’t it. You missed out the ugly fat middle aged bit though chap…very disappointed in you 🙂

    6’1″ on a Large 29er. Looks about right.

    6’4″ odd, so i guess a 29er would fit. Wont be getting one though I would like to try one, but only for a short ride. When i made the switch from 20″ to 26″ it took a while to get used to the giant wheels. When I went back to the bmx, i found it far too small and nervous, which was a real shame. I didn’t give myself a chance to get used to it again and stopped riding it altogether. I don’t want that to happen again as i have 3 great 26″ bikes with no plans to change.

    It’s alright Euro,it’s not an exclusive club & you’re still allowed to carry on riding 26″ wheeled bikes..I do 🙂

    Although some do seem to think it’s an all or nothing thing 🙄

    i’m (only) 6’1″

    26ers are just silly:

    Well, I think I look awesome. 😛
    What i meant was, the bike looks more in proportion than this one when I was still on training wheels.

    I’m frightened it’ll make my 26 bikes feel too small for me. Ignorance is bliss and all that…

    5’9″ and love it.. surely it’s about how you feel on the bike, not look on it? Just about to ditch my Zesty after a blast of a CyB weekend on my new Horsethief..

    Stoner is the only one allowed a 29er.

    Once he stops growing, he might be.
