Hey gents. Just want to check with the morewood growd. I am 1.85 m tall would a Zula XL frame be to big for me. I can't find exact information regarding this issue on the net.

 

I'm 1.86 with long legs and longish arms riding a Large Zula (2010)

My seat post does stick out on the long side but it is still in limits (the safe line on the seat post)

 

The only issue I had was handle bar height, have to use a lot of spacers under the stem and a raised stem with riser bars otherwise they are a bit to low for me (my back is not as flexible as it used to be).

Thanks El Cap.

And everything apart from the wheels, chain guide & bars was all 2nd hand.

DH on a budget FTW!  :thumbup:

Now when you say "budget" how do you fit a 40 in there #askingforafriend

Ummm, well the 40 is the newer float version and actually originates from your side of the country. I guess 'budget' is relative, but when compared to retail price, I got it for an absolute bargain. Strange thing is that the fork was up for sale on FB for quite some time and never moved. I got lucky I guess.

Saw an awesome Morewood on a crappy red tazz yesterday In Rosebank... Bompass road. What a beautiful bike!

 

And to think that most people won't realise how much more the bike is worth than the car :D

I searched for quite some time for a large frame Shova, eventually I managed to buy a frame from a guy in JHB and recently finished building it. Had to say goodbye to the Zula but I'm sure this will give me just as much pleasure.
