06 sasquatch frame size

[robbyloveday]

hi boys and girls,
i recently laid down a deposit on a 06 Sasquatch (medium frame) at lifecycles.
I have been reading some reviews and it seems as though i should be getting a large frame, I am just over 6 foot. Anyone know anything on the subject on the 06 norco frames.
Thanks

Hey mate, I just laid down a deposit on a medium 06 Manik at Belrose Bicycles, cool ehh?
Anyway the 06 Manik and the Sasquatch share the same frame and here are all the specifications for a medium size frame.

Seat tube length (mm) 420
Head tube angle (°) 67
Seat tube angle (°) 71
Theoretical top tube (mm) 595
Top tube length (mm) 570
Head tube length (mm) 125
Fork length (mm) 538
Bottom bracket height (mm) 330
Stand over height (mm) 788
Wheel base (mm) 1107
Front centre (mm) 688
Rear centre (mm) 420

I am 5'8 and I tried a large and it was just way too big. A medium is just fine for me.
I'm not very sure if that helps at all.

downhill forever- im 5,10 and ride a small sasquach and its perfect, i think a medium is way to big for me to jump and even if i was a giant i still would only get the medium as the large i think is just unjumpable. my 6 2 mate has a medium sasy but he'd rather ride my bike for jumping.

I'm 6,6'1 and i used to ride a small P3 and it was a really good size for jumping and DH, plus small frames just look way better too.

It's all personal preferene. Get a large frame if you are a lazy bum and dont feel like cramping your knee's when riding home. But if your also doing jumps, freeride and like to throw your bike and/or yourself around, deffinately go a small or a medium at most. The best advice is not to read about what size you shall get, but to try them out for youself. Go to lifecycles and ask them to have a ride at the small and medium. Im not a small bloke for my size at 78kg's and like 5'9 or 10 or something and i ride a small and its fine. But always try them out for youself (p.s i wish i waited for the 06 sasquatches ) lol, cheers
