Skylark Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 With the Morewood Zula 26" frames would a lady 1.78m tall be better suited for a large or medium sized frame?
DGK95 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I am exactly that height and I rode a M Zula - was very comfy on it.
SwissVan Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 With the Morewood Zula 26" frames would a lady 1.78m tall be better suited for a large or medium sized frame? Don't really know, I would say a M for a 1.78m lady For what its worth...I'm 1.86m and ride a large Zula, Mr Morewood himself said the L is ok for me (tested it at his factory in PMB). But tbh a XL probably would have been a better fit for me... seat post is really long to accommodate my leg length
T-Bag68 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 A 26er sizing is a wheel size, so even on a 29er the Lady would still be choosing a Medium frame
Headshot Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 With the Morewood Zula 26" frames would a lady 1.78m tall be better suited for a large or medium sized frame?My wife rides a medium Zula - or at least we think its a medium and she's about 1.7 m. She runs a 50mm stem slammed to get the bars low enough.
Hairy Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 what is the current reach on her bicycle ... compare this to the Zula and you will get a better idea. I am 1.78m tall and have tried both the medium and large 26'er Zula's .... the large was a better fit for me.

MrJacques Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I'm 1.73m and had a medium Zula and it was on the small side of the spectrum. It was definitely lower than my other bike and the TT was quite short. I'd say go for the Large. Best is to actually go and try it to see. http://www.sicklines.com/gallery/data/948/2011_morewood_geochart.jpg

Headshot Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 That geo data looks seriously old school by today's standards does it not
MrJacques Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 That geo data looks seriously old school by today's standards does it not The short top tube, definitely, but the head angle was actually on the slacker side for an xc bike of that time.
Stretch Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I'm 6ft with a large zula Edit... I'm all legs so I have my seat up quite high but the reach is still ok
