For those of you that own this bike I am very curious about your sizing and how you feel the bike fits.
I'm coming from a ~2012 all mountain type bike (150mm/160mm travel) but the geometry seems so different than this bike and for that matter all newer bikes.
Does anyone know of some bikes that are even close to similar to the LCFS947 in regards to geo that I could maybe take a demo on that would be a good frame of reference? Seems like a SC Hightower and Scott Ransom are somewhat close but I hear people say 5mm makes a notable difference in some of these measurements so I'm not sure how to correct for that. Granted everything is a large departure from what I'm riding now.
I feel like trying to compare the geometry I've measured off my bike is not really helping me understand what the bike is going to feel like as its so different, and I want to try to make the best choice I can as this will be a several thousand dollar investment and I'm not sure how well these will resell compared to a name brand if it ends up wrong and i need a different size.
So with that said, here are my measurements. I'm curious to know what yours are and how you find the bike fits and feels for you.
Height (6'4") - 193cm
weight (165lbs) - 75Kg
Wingspan (6'2") - 187cm
Inseam (34.5") - 88cm
Welcome anyone's thoughts or experience with bike sizing or any more resources for me to check out.
For the record, here are the measurements I took on my bike, although I did these with tape measure and an angle app on my phone so unlikely to be dead nutz accurate. Hopefully within 5-10mm
Reach = 457mm
Stack = 625mm
Eff. Top tube = 595mm
BB height = 370mm
Chain stay = 432mm
Head angle = 69deg
Seat angle = 74deg
Seat Tube = 460mm
wheel base = 1130mm
I also measured from BB to top of my seat as 810mm which makes the pedal to ass measurement 985mm when I only have a 880mm inseam? seemed kinda weird but I measured it a few times and its right or pretty close.
