Pyga OneTen 29 L or XL or other bike

[MTBJD]

Hi there, 

 

I am finally in the market for an upgrade of my old bike (after breaking the frame :/)

 

I have been looking at the Pyga OneTen 29er. 

 

I have an option to buy a used one for a good discount, but its a L model and I am not sure its the right size. 

 

Are there any Pyga riders that can give me ideas how they feel about their frame (L/XL) given their height - I am 1.89m and i know the Pyga recommendation is that I should ride a XL. 

 

It feels fine on the large one, but it might be just my lack of knowledge/feel. 

 

Thanks!

I'm also 1.89m and rode an XL oneten29 for 4 years. It fitted me well but I've got pretty long arms. It's a long frame, and the L I tried didn't feel too cramped either. 

 

I built my new bike in a L (was also on the border of L/XL sizing) and I'm glad I did. For the type of riding I do it feels a lot more playful.

Size down rather. I had a large and landed up selling because I should of been on a medium. I am 1.78

XL, short (sub 60mm) stem, ride away with a smile!

Im 1.86  all my previous MTBs have been a XL, Spec, Trek, however I tried the PYGA Stage and a Large was right for me, So i would say PYGA are big frames, however at 1,89 you may have moved up to a XL, could you not demo a XL and L first

Yeah, i will try to demo the XL.

 

It just seemed that in all the forums it was hinted at that it's not that easy to demo one...

Thank you for all the posts so far :-)

Had a L - changed to XL - was happy.

 

Now on Max - also XL with a short stem - happy

 

I am 1.87

I am 1.92 and riding an XL

I believe I would be more comfortable on a L.Its a big frame

Found the same. It's a long frame with quite a seat tube angle, which makes it feel even longer.
