size of a frame...
Hi! I come from Poland - I'm sorry for my English... I have one question to You. What do You think, which size of frame(MTB) would be good for me: My predispositions: - height 197 cm = 77,55 inches - length of the leg (from heel to groin) 98 cm = 38,58 inches - lenght of the arm (from the center of armpit to knuckle without lenght of the longest finger!) 75-77 cm = 29,52-30,31 inches - lenght of the arm (from the center of armpit until the end of the longest finger) 86-88 cm = 33,85-34,64 inches - lenght of the trunk (from pelvisbone to collarbone; inhalation/exhalation) 50/55 cm = 19,68/21,65 inches which size of frame should I choose to: (MTB frame) - XC/sport ride - sth like hmmmm.... between XC and globetrotter/travel ride - normal ride through forests.... - typical globetrotter/travel, "light" ride Thank You for any informations and advices Marek Nawrocki Poznan-Poland-Biker |

Maras, I agree with Dave, probably the biggest you can find. Test ride one if you have the opportunity. If you have the money for a custom bike (US $1500 or more) you might try Zinn Cycles in Boulder, CO, USA. Dial to the USA then 303-499-4349. http://www.zinncycles.com Even if you don't have the money for a custom bike, contact them. They can probably answer your questions better than just about anyone else. Bruce Lange or Bruce Klimaszewski - (if my great-grandfather had not changed his name) Denver, Colorado, USA cyclist |

Thanks
Do you think 23,5'' MTB will be good for me? Wasn't it too big for me? I heard that frame should (better responsive) be a little bit smaller? I ride rather normal - not radical XC and radical globetrotter . My bike-club www.cyklista.prv.pl on the left NASZ TEAM and at the bottom (next to last) Marek Nawrocki - it's me :-)) and too small frame.. -- P_O_Z_D_R_O_W_E_R_Y pozbiker maras Użytkownik "David Kerber" napisał w wiadomości ... In article , says... Hi! I come from Poland - I'm sorry for my English... Your English is great; far better than my (any other language you care to name, though I do read/write a little French)!
