anyone ride a xl?

im 6.2 and have a large but was thinking about asking madisin for an xl when they exchange my frame?

just wondering what size frames you guys ride and what height you are?


i run a 70 mm sten with a large frame but the top tubes are short on the metas arent they?

cheers fellas

I used to have a large Meta 5 and Meta 6 and at jsut about 6'02" i founds them to short with the 50mm stem i ran.

Rode and XL Meta 5 today (jimbo's) and it felt lush, much better length and the 2010 frames seem much more rigid.

Jimbo, you let him ride your bike?
And his broke???
You need your brain fixing.

On the flip side, he rode my bike and it broke!!!!!

lol

yeah i just got the geometrey up for the meta 5 and the lapierre zesty and the zesty large is bigger than the xlarge meta 5.(just to compare)

ordered an x large from madison gunna be another 2 to 3 weeks wait but hopefully wont feel as cramped.

just feel a little bit to far back over the bottom bracket on the large.

hopefully might help my back too

Yep, I'm a lanky git and ride an xl.... only thing I did was to get a Hope stem to shorten it a tad and speed up / sharpen up the steering.

Ps I'm bout 6'3.

Cheers
