Dec 9, 2001 6:16 AM | | Considering a Team. I think a medium will do. I ride an 18" hardtail. Thanks. |

Dec 9, 2001 8:55 AM | | Keep in mind that the team is not made with the same geometry as the other models. It is more stretched out in the top tube. My buddy who is 5'7" had a Large I-drive because it was the only one that had a long enough top tube for him (besides the Team). He's not a racer, but more of a free rider, if that helps. In the Team, you might be okay with the medium. (I'm 5'11" and I would PROBABLY go with the medium). I have a large framed K2 but K2's are said to run a bit small... |

Dec 9, 2001 6:16 PM | | I'm 5'9", and ride an i-Drive 2.0, and the top tube is a tiny bit short (I addressed that with a Race Face XY seatpost). Pretty sure the "Team" has a longer top tube, so the medium would probably be okay for you. If you can, test ride both a medium and a large.
Despite the comments about frames, warranties, and the rest, I'm a 200 lbs plus rider, and (so far at least) haven't had a problem.
Good luck, and happy riding. |
