Seeking some help from Rail riders out there...

Need help figuring out whether I can fit a size Regular.

My questions about your setup:
- Size frame: Regular or Large
- Your height
- Riding style/purpose of your Rail

I have found up to three size Reg for sale right now, but no Large in sight. I am 5'10 and according to the Turner specs, I should be on a large. However, I like smaller bikes and find them easier to flick around, but I was just wondering if the Regular was too small of bike to do so.

Thanks in advance.

Whats up Dirtpaws,

Its cool posting, if you have questions fire away usually everyones pretty helpful.

I am, like you, 5'10". On the cusp of the Large and Medium in the Turner line. Concerning the rail. I believe it runs a little smaller than most mediums. Depending on the purpose, and where your height is (arms/trunk/legs?) you may be able to get away with it. I personally would get a long in the rail, but could go either way and be stoked. Especially with a rail, i was told its an ultra fun machine, think..mini dhr. If I could find one with twin top tubes, I would get one. Seen any?

Just as a note: I ride a medium 01' RFX(trail/jumps/slpstyle), a Large 02 (xc bike), and a Medium Highline(everything else bigger than the RFX's balls), all Turners. You will be stoked on the Rail if it comes through.

Enjoy the ride.
