What size bike do you ride?

[FrikkieMeyer87]

Hi!

 

 

I've had my XL 2018 Trance in the classifieds (in and out of BikeHub) for a good couple of months already with very few nibbles and zero bites, which has made me wonder: Am I the only one riding an XL bike? I can't have a poll on height as well as bike size, but I'd be interested to get an idea of what size bike people ride for their height? Are tall people opting for Large bikes instead of Extra Large ones for the sake of future sell-ability?

 

Let me know!

1.76m on a large frame, tried a medium and it felt very cramped.

[Schnavel]

1.81m on a medium frame - prefer the bike to feel nippy, instead of like a boat

1.76m on a large frame, tried a medium and it felt very cramped.

 

haha, and Im 1.77 and ride either Small or Med, depending on geometry.

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Depends entirely on geo. I currently ride on a large, but there are some bikes which I'd be tempted to try on a medium. 

[Grease_Monkey]

1.78m. Large or Medium depending on the bike. You're definitely not the only guy on an XL - 3 out of 5 of the people I ride with regularly are on XL frames.

 

2018 Trance's are flipen sought after bikes, the more likely factor for few nibbles/bites is probably your price.

[Gambithunt]

I’m on an XL at 1.91. Sometimes depending on geo I ride a large.

[Dirt Tracker]

Medium or large. Mostly based on geo and reach of specific model. A lot of bikes are being designed with very low start over heights now so you can move between sizes depending on what your fit / preferences are. 

[Dirkitech]

186 on larges, because could never find XL's when I was looking!

I am an XL.Alu with some fairly ordinary components plus 650b,yes you are going to struggle.The taller people want 29ers .

[Chavo]

Ride an XL and battled with selling my previous bike (also an XL)...until I dropped my price to being a steal. If you're selling second hand I've come to realise it's because you're doing just that, selling, and not because you're using the funds to sponsor the next project. The second hand market is not a place to try make money or recoup funds, imo at least.

I don't see the 650cc option 

[Allrounder]

177 and I am on a very uncomfortable border between medium and large. 

[Pure Savage]

185cm on a 54cm road bike. 

 

The XTC is a large and it feels rather boaty.

[fanievb]

172

54cm Roadie (Felt F95)

Medium MTB (Giant XTC 29)

 

was on mid line between the S and M, but didn't like the way the seatpost needed to extend on the S

191, XL in everything, except my jump bike... that thing is just awkwardly tiny.

 

My experience with XL in the classifieds is that things take a while to sell, and there's a very small selection of frames/bikes in the size I want.
