Ok, before I order my dhr I want to know if a medium dhr would fit my 6ft tall ass? Im coming from a medium specialized big hit and the top tube on it was 23.5in. while the medium dhr tt length is 21.5in and effective tt is 24.2in(says competitive cyclist)

Basicly, anyone in the 5'10''-6'1'' range riding a medium dhr? If so, do you feel comfortable on it?

I'm 5'10 and the Medium DHR feels great with a 50mm stem. Might be a tiny bit on the cramped side for you though but depends how long you like your bikes to feel.

A better indication is the length from the BB to the headtube IMHO.

Dude, the large is LARGE. Stick with the medium. It'll fit better and have a better chance of resale down the road. One of customers is around 6'1'' and he feels that his large is too big for him. We didn't sell him that bike. If we had we would've sold him a medium. I'm also 6'1'' and the mediums feel right.

I'm 6'1" and I have a large. I like big bikes though. My gf has a medium. I can ride it with no problem but it feels a bit cramped when I try and sprint. My knees hit the bars. If you like your bikes on the small side, get the medium.

I have a medium and im 6ft seems to fit me well. Im running an integrated stem at 60mm but i had a 45 on there before and it was fine.

I like having a flickable bike, so medium it is.

Thanks guys
