giant anthem sizing


quickdraw

Recommended Posts

I am 1.74 (actually 1.738) Tongue, will an Anthem medium be too big for me?

 

I used to have an XTC1 17' (s).

I am 1.7m and ride a small Anthem.

Could perhaps just fit on a medium, but I prefer the small with the seat post raised to almost max. Handling is better.

I'm 1.65 and have a 16" Merida (small).

Previous bike was a Silverback Nabraska, small

Previous to that was a Phoenix, Medium.

 

Smalls seem to handle better...IMHO.

I am 1.75 and I ride a medium - on the Anthem team frames they gave which height should ride which size (obviously aprox), but that put me well into medium.

 

My wife is 1.6 something, and according to the santa cruz site, falls in the area where medium and small overlap, so I would say go medium

yeah, i'm in 1.77-ish range, and should be on a medium, but prefer the feel of small frames.

I am 1.8 and ride a medium with a 110mm stem. The standover on the large was too high.

I think you will be just right for a med. frame. Awesome bike by the way.

Your inseam is more important than your height, some people have long legs! Just ride the smallest frame which feels right to you.
