Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
At this point you should just give geometron an email and buy what Chris Porter tells you too.
It’ll look sick atop the golf. Flick your budget the bird, it’s only money.
The large V3 is shorter than my XL V2. I’m also tall (6’4), don’t be a weenie, buy a bike that fits and give yourself a few rides to adjust.

LOL yes I saw that. I don't believe 'mullet' means 180mm out back and 130 up front...

Not really a trail bike though is it.

Not too far off the 150mm requirement... Just bung the original hardware back in and happy days!
Better to be over biked than under!

Was he after 150? Tbh I saw spitfire come up as recommended, figured trail bike is what we was talking about. Reading the original post is overrated.

Have you compared the lengths? @Boom King showed me. It’s substantial.

She fid, he fid, I fidn't
having stood beside both of you, i think neither is qualified (vertically, or horizontally for that matter) to be talking about such frame sizing

He was showing me how much out of my league a new large is. Ridden a mates older spitty (and also have one on the way), and can handle them. New medium is like 40mm linger than my medium.
The Spitfire would fit me just the way my Tracer did - the numbers are real close - but the issue here is that I could get a better fit by buying something one size up.
There's not often I feel uncomfortable on the Tracer, but on downhill switchbacks and in little dips I feel I'm almost going over the bars. Putting a bit more length in there surely couldn't hurt.

Send @the drizzle a strongly worded letter about sniping the last XL

He’s never even ridden it in the 36h since ordering it. Lazy prick probably doesn’t even have it yet.

While not as tall as yourself, I drift across the size barriers and have generally always ridden the smaller option. I like to huck! But I have also gone for the larger option on 3 bikes, 2 of which I have/had for pedalling. On both instances I found the for significantly better for longer rides with pedalling as a feature. All three of those bikes were still send capable and comfortable in the air. If you aren't shuttling on this thing upsize and live.

It probably comes down to personal preference but I tend to size up on bikes. My current two are an XL Intense Primer (TT length: 672mm, ST length 475mm) and an XL Cotic Rocket (TT length: 680mm, ST length: 495mm). The new XL Spitty comes in at a TT length of 645mm and an ST length of 490mm). Stack numbers are pretty similar across all three bikes. If I was in the Spitty market I'd be choosing XL.

I resemble this remark.
Hasn't even arrived yet. Will be a wait on dropouts too.
I was willing to pay the full price on this one, just wanting to sell some bits first to fund it. When the price dropped by 1k I pulled the trigger.
It's going to be a mulleted abomination.
Definitely go super enduro and get the knolly! .... Take this with a grain of salt, I'm a motivated seller....
Need to get the bank account in order after purchasing the spitty.
