Really liking the look of these frames, though sizing is a bit of a dilemma. Not one to mesh well with the long, low, slack brigade, but most other frames are either all that, or fairly old school.
The FM936 looks to be a decent compromise between the 64degree slack sleds, and something more leaning toward xc.
At 6'2 with short legs I'm finding most of the time I'm between L and Xl sizes, with most XL's feeling a little tall.
Current bike is old school. 445mm reach, 630 ish ETT, on a 68.5 HA/73.5 SA 29er, running a 90mm stem. I would run 100mm on it for reach to the bar, but it feels a bit floppy on a 68deg HA.
I run my seat at 775mm centre BB to top of saddle, so quite short legs for my height.
looking at the 540mm seat tube length on the XL, doesn't seem to leave much for a dropper, should I feel the urge.
the 500mm reach on the L seems like plenty to me. I did own a XL On One Scandal for a while, with a 480mm reach and a 65deg HA it still felt a bit small with a 50mm stem, and handled horribly with anything longer on it.
looking at the reach figures, I can get somewhere in the right saddle to bar length with a large and a 60mm stem. so I'm thinking that a Large will be OK for me. Do these frames feel as long as the numbers suggest? large would certainly give me more seatpost space.
thanks
