|   5' 11" med or large Bullit? (x-post from FR/DH) | onelove
Feb 20, 2003 6:28 PM | | I am 5'11" around 165 lbs. I like to ride at least
semi-aggressively and I am starting to get some
better air and do some 4-5' drops. I'd like to
work up to taller and taller drops and longer
jumps -- we'll see... Anyway, according to the
Santa Cruz Bullit web pages I can fit either frame
by using a med with a 120 stem or a large with a
90 stem. Is there anyone here that is 5'11
riding a med Bullit? |
| Medium, based upon my limited experience w/ the Bullit | -Chip.
Feb 20, 2003 6:36 PM | | I suggest a (semi)proper fitting to determine the appropriate stem length.
Good luck,

Feb 20, 2003 8:07 PM | | I am 5'11" and have a medium Bullit with a Super T/RaceFace Diabolous (70/10). The only complaint is occasionally I hit my knee on the top cap of the triple clamp fork. Other than that, it handles very well. Is there a way you can borrow a friends or rent from a store, that would be the best way to figure out your dilemma? |
| thanks for the replies, I will... | onelove
Feb 20, 2003 10:51 PM | | try to rent or borrow a med from a local shop in Santa Cruz.
There's a shop at the north end of town that will rent a Bullit
for $45 and then apply that price to the bike if you buy one. |

Feb 22, 2003 2:00 PM | | I'm also 5'11"(150 lbs), got myself a large Bullit after all. I prefer the shorter stem, got a 75mm Titec Knucklehead with 10 degree rise. Fits like glove. :-) My riding is agressive XC, freeriding and will drop as You described(4-5', maybe more). Asked Scott at Santa Cruz and he said the medium would work fine too(for more NS/DH style riding it's better), but for a little more stretched out cockpit the large would be perfect. The standover clearance is almost the same on both sizes. This is what it looks like as setup for xc riding: |
