PSA – Chee'p Specialized clearance frames (Enduro/Pitch/Myka)

http://www.bikescene.co.uk/SPECIALIZEDCLEARANCEFRAMES-92.html

(Thank yoshimi for the link/find).

TO the Singletrack giries: my better half has got one of those Spesh Mykas. Its a fantasic frame. And at £200, is ridiculously cheap. You can’t get a decent hardtail frame for that 😯

No probs, those enduro frames are too tempting 😐

Are you going to get a few Hora, you know, to keep you going 😉

😆

Anyone got any idea what size Myka for a lady 5’8″ tall with a 32/33in inside leg?

What’s the Myka sizing like? Wife is 5’9″. I guess medium would be right.

I’d love to think my missus would love one of those Mykas, but TBH she’d rather have the pennies to spend on shoes…..
🙁

Does this help Peter http://forums.mtbr.com/womens-lounge/2010-specialized-myka-comp-size-610801.html

PP and Cooie – As they’re female specific, they come in quite small. I’d go for the large. my missus is a a lot shorther than 5’8″ and she’s fine with a medium

Agreed with the Myka. My wife has one. She is 5ft7 and she has a medium.

Thanks guys 🙂

Rats – sold out of medium Enduros this am!

Well, I’m the same height as her (shorter legs though) and always a medium in Spesh bikes. The medium Myka is the same size (Seat tube) as a meduim FSR, just 35mm shorter

The medium size given equates to 17.8in (Seat tube) and Mrs PP has a 17in Hardrock as a commuter which fits her well.

I’m erring towards the medium…..

BUT she currently has a 17in Kona King Kikapu (mens frame) which looks a tad small on her in the leg, but too long

The large Myka is 10mm LONGER than a mens medium….

So I’m unsure!!

Arghhhh!

EDIT

She needs something a bit taller, but shorter than the kona

**heads off to find Kona geometry**

I’ve been occasionally known to take the (medium) Myka out for a spin. with a 32″ inside leg (same as me), she’s going to have a lot of seatpost showing. So I’d still advise a large PP

cooie – What size are you going for?

[Edit] Not sure how valid it is, but there’s a rough size chart here: http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/contentPages.asp?pageID=62 [/Edit]

Aidy, cheers, I thought that was a good answer, but the Safire (The closest thing to a Myka) is listed as

S-WORKS SAFIRE FSR Rider Height Rider Height (cm)
Bike Size
Small 5′ 0″ – 5′ 4″ 152 – 163
Medium 5′ 4″ – 5′ 8″ 163 – 173
Large 5′ 8″ – 5′ 11″ 173 – 180

And she’s 5’8″

So bang in the middle!!!

Arrgghh!

Kona have no geometry listed for older bikes 🙁

RING Spesh UK for advise. I bet these frames are old warranty replacements stock heldback and from spesh UK.

Myka is the same sizing

I’ll have a think……

Having ridden one, and watched the missus ride one for 12 months PP, I’d definitely err on the side of the large. She’s at the 5’4″ end of the spectrum and the medium is fine for her. Definitely not too big

This is getting confusing now. On Aidy’s link medium is 5’5″-5′-10″. On PP’s it’s 5’4″-5’8″!!

Hora

Ive stopped looking at that site [impulse bought my last two Enduros from them]. Couldnt resist clicking on your link.

Ive just talked myself into leaving a deposit on a S Works Enduro. If it feels right on Tuesday my old one will have to go.

Don’t blame me 😆

Nearly forgot my ‘no Specialized stuff’ rule there for a minute, shame, one of those Myka’s could have been ideal for using up a load of spares..

I need to blame someone

I think that is right I had an fsr xc warranty job last year and I got one of those dark blue frames.

They are USA frames (chatted to them this afternoon, but they’re out of mediums)…

That ano bronze is mint. Yes it reminded me of a post on Mtbr of someones Enduro- it looked beautiful in the pics/really suits the shape which to be honest looks ungainly/not special enough in some colours IMO.

Whats the big difference between the Pitch and Enduro other than the M4 and M5 tubing?

Weight?

They still have a large Pitch 🙁 Damn alps trip, stealing my bike money.

I’m very tempted for a small Enduro.

sambob you’d probably sell it for very similar money afterwards.

What are specialized own shocks like?

Aidy, cheers, I thought that was a good answer, but the Safire (The closest thing to a Myka) is listed as

S-WORKS SAFIRE FSR Rider Height Rider Height (cm)
Bike Size
Small 5′ 0″ – 5′ 4″ 152 – 163
Medium 5′ 4″ – 5′ 8″ 163 – 173
Large 5′ 8″ – 5′ 11″ 173 – 180

And she’s 5’8″

So bang in the middle!!!

Arrgghh!

I’d be cautious, I’m 5ft 2 and the small Safire was far too horribly short for me. Must be my Mr Tickle arms…

Mine came with a fox shock although it has the specialized S on the shock.

Was that the Enduro SL falkirk-mark and which fox shock? iirc Specialized had reliability issues with their own shocks.

Fsr xc, I would be lying if I said exactly which one but it was Fox and had pro pedal and lockout

EDIT I think it tells you below the frames spec what shock is on them, mines a triad

I think the shock is a Fox Triad. That’s whats on the better half’s bike.
