|   Rocky Mt Slayer Sizing? | quattroluvr
Jan 12, 2002 9:29 PM | | Hi,
Just making sure of a sizing regards a used Slayer, they come in 18" and 19.5" apparently. I'm 5'11", 225lbs, inseam of 32" and ride mostly XC.
Any opinions on suitability of the two sizes?
TIA |

Some have long legs and a short torso, other have longer arms and short legs, etc. I am a little over 6'2" and I ride a 20.5 Rocky Mountain Instinct. I find that RM's tend to be a little shorter in the top tube compared to some other manufacturers. My hard tail (not a RM) is only 19 inches, so you can't assume that one size of frame will fit you accross all frame types and manufactureres.
The only way you can be sure of course is to ride both bikes and play with various handle bar/stem combo's. It can be a tedious process, but in the end it beats having a bike that isn't properly sized.
Good Luck. |

Bottom line - if you can, try them first and go with what feels better. |
