I'm 1.74, Ride a M - GT zaskar (old one). Fits me great!! Looking to buy a new Marida HFS model, not sure yet.
 

Between that OR a road bike upgrade. More a roadie...

We ride a XL / M Tandem ..... Raleigh T6000...... the most awesome bike in the world!!!!!!!!
 

Cannot vote as there has not been allowed for Tandems....... but if Timmie Brink did not even review Tandems in his bike roundup in Buycycling how can I expect you to do it!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh .............. and I see now it is MTB's..... Our Omega has exactly the same frame, and the same comment stands!!!!!!!

A medium in one brand is often similar to a large in another.
 

I had/will have an 18" (M) Giant Anthem, but would ride a 19" (L) Speciailized.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

on a medium teocali, i guess i could be on a large, this does feel a little cramped at times, but i could make a few adjustments

was on the cusp or medium/large measurements
