intense uzzi small or medium

[BrianM]

Okay, I'm a newbie on this forum, but I did do a search and couldn't find help. I'm considering buying an 07 intense uzzi frame but I'm worried about the frame size. I'm coming off a 16"Banshee Scream. The TT on the Uzzi is an inch shorter. Im 5'9" 31 inch inseam which puts me in the middle of the small/medium recommended sizing from Intenses web site. Has anyone got any help regarding the best choice for me? Thanks.

Do you prefer to be more cramped or spread out? If your going to be doing trail riding with climbing the longer frame would be better. I had a medium M3 and it fit about the same as a large V10.....the Intense medium is a longer TT

<edit> I'm 5'-11" and I was riding a medium, I would be inclined to say....small frame for you

I like my bike a little smaller. Im 5'9" and ride a small Socom. I love it.

I'm 5'9" and had a medium Uzzi. I thought it fit well, and if anything I thought the top tube was a little short. I just got a 6.6 SS and like it a lot better than the Uzzi. Might be a good choice depending on how you're going to ride it.

I would agree that the top tube is a little short on the uzzi (for my preference). I'm 6' and ride a large, glad I didn't go with the medium. My last bike as a medium VP Free - had a longer tt and less standover.

I'm 5'7" and rode a medium. It felt great for my size.

If you plan on doing a lot of jumping/jibbing, I'd say go medium.

If you'll primarily be hauling ass down rough singletrack, go large.

MED for sure bro, you'll be cramped on a small TT is short!
