Bike Setup - Top Tube Length

[RockSpider85]

Here is Giant's size chart for 2014 and hmmm I am between a small and xs

My dad who is 1.81m can ride my bike!!!

 

Looking at Giant Anthem 27.5 1 now....

I'm waiting for 27.5 to become more mainstream, i think as a short person, it'll be better than a 29r.

 

Glad somebody will get use out of your bike

So guys!!

 

fist we shortened my stem to a 60mm .... but then my knee was 20mm behind my pedal center at bottom. we could not move the saddle forward so that was that .... frame to big.

 

Riding a Anthem 29er small now and wow....much more comfortable on the bike and also not stretched out. kept the 60mm stem. Bike handles and flows much better.

 

Small is my size...

Good one! A short stem and wide bars can do more for bike handling than just about anything else!
