Happy Holidays!
helloI was planning on buying this frame but it looks like they don't produce XL.I am 1.89m (6.2'). Do you think the L would work?Thanks
Depends. For an XC build it might be ok with a longer stem, it's not a small frame at all. The saddle is set at 92cm on the photo and I am 181.Anyway - I just wrapped up a temporary build, the fork is an overkill at 150mm, but I've yet to find something 120-ish. My notes:I think I (almost) cross threaded every thread there is - both rear brake inserts and beginning of support threads (but the latter started to work fine after initial stubbornness)front cable grommet plate design is stupid, it's not interference fit, nor screwed in, it is held in place by derailleur cable, it will rattle for sure.front bearings need either a shim or taller bearings (IS52+IS42), not sure yetmy frame came with conical rear axleI am not crazy about metal cable grommets, only one of them was for hydraulic hose, the others accept a cable without housingIn general - I am ok with the build. It's ok for a beater bike.
