The perfect size MTB

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking to upgrade to a new MTB, think it's about time to say goodbye to my old faithful 26er. I just need advice on the sizing of a 29er.

 

I'm 1,89m, I currently ride a 21' XL frame. Somehow it feels like I can't get any good XL MTB deals within my budget, so I want to know if I find a good deal on a large MTB, should I take it, or rather stick to a XL frame.

 

Thanks

It depends on the bike. With some, I'd say definitely XL. With the longer, lower, slacker variety which a few manufacturers are moving towards, I'd say test both before you buy.

 

Wheelsize has no effect on which size frame you should get.
