I just bought another frame so you can remove me from the list.

I will still follow this topic and wish you guys the best.

Thanks for the update, frame looks solid. Is the 15' sample a size medium or large?

Size 15" is a Medium Santa Cruz...

sold a bike so i must buy a bike

I am in for one - XL frame
Colour - Pantone PMS 2153c (santa Cruz Hightower blue)
Shipping - XDB to Ireland (this will avoid duty?)
2 spare derailleur hangers

Quick question Eddy, Can these be got with some decals with Haideli or Miracle on them?

[Psousss]

Interested!

On a side note... Does anyone know the panton color for the SC Ink blue/green?

[Icyseanfitz]

Can I change the colour on my order to Pantone PMS 2153c (Santa Cruz blue) please

[Sitar_Ned]

We haven't officially committed any colors or sizes as of yet. This is just to get an estimate for Eddy. When things are finalized and I email you that is when you will pick final color and size.

Cool thanks, wasn't too sure and just covering my bases

Hello
I'd be interested if it's not too late. Debating on L or XL in color #11. 

Any recommendations on size if I'm exactly 6ft?

Good question.. I'm 6ft as well and am still undecided. I think you should be choosing between the M and L, though.

I'm 6' and have always gone with a large (M in this case).  I should probably ride an XL to see if I like it, but I've never been unhappy with an L.

[Psousss]

I’m also on the fence between L and XL. I’m 6’3” and have ridden both the 2019 Hightower and Hightower LT in XXL and they didn’t feel too long, but have never ridden an XL to see if I like it. The reach of the L is comparable to the old SC XXL geometry just a few MM shorter. Jumping up to the XL would make the reach even longer than the older Hightower/LT by 12-20mm.

The only that would be a significant change is the seat tube length, 30mm.

I think the biggest thing that is pushing me towards the L vs XL is chain stay length. SC increases the chain stay on their XXL to account for the added size up front, but based on the geo I have seen for the AM831, it keeps the same length across the board. So I figure riding the L version will give the closest feel to the actual Hightower design.
