Quick heads up - after some 1-2-1 tuition I'm considering replacing
the frame of a Specialized Rockhopper 2007 for a Cove Stiffee on the
grounds that the more relaxed head angle may be more steady and get
the weight back giving a little more time to assess obstacles before
committing (I'm told).
So for a 6" rider (with slightly shorter legs than normal) should I go
for the 17.5" or the 19.5"?
My existing frame is 19" which is good for long rides/climbing but not
so good for chucking around twisty tracks (at least not by me
anyway...)
Many thanks,
Duncan
