how tall are you?

178 and have a med Zula, but looking at a shova and don't know what size the frame is. So want to measure.

The Shova has a 5mm shorter horizontal length from the seat post to handle bar head tube than the Zula.

 

I am also 1.78m tall and ride a medium Shova with a 60mm stem. I might try a 70mm, but it feels good at this stage. The Shova is my current commuter, XC bike, Marathon rig and trail bike in this setup.

Thanks, will have a look at the bike next week and take a tape measure.

Do you reckon a large would be more comfortable?

I test rode a large and it is way too big, the Medium is the right size to be on. Should you want a little more stretch on the medium use an 80mm or a 90mm stem.
