Jan 8, 2002 8:32 AM | | If you can, try out both frame sizes. You might get a bit cramped up unless you are Torso Man (re: 6'3" with a 32" inseam...).
Good luck! |

Jan 8, 2002 8:51 AM | | HOW IT WILL FIT WHEN IM STANDING AND PEDALING OR JUMPING AND DROPPING STUFF. MY BIKE NOW IS A CRUEL JOKE IN PROPER BIKE FIT BUT IT FEELS GOOD LOADING UP FOR A JUMP. THE SEAT WILL REALLY ONLY BE UP WHEN GOING TO AND FROM A TRAILHEAD OR RIDING SPOT. KNOWING THIS, WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? IM ASKING BECAUSE ON KONAS WEB SITE THE 18" STAB IS LISTED AS HAVING A INCH SHORTER TOP TUBE THAN THE SAME SIZE STINKY, THAT SEEMS WEIRD TO ME. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP |
