So the young bloke has nearly sold enough loads of firewood to purchase a new trail bike.
He is nearly 14 (yes he cuts his own wood with the chainsaw and probably other ways teenage boys do)
He is 168cm and growing obviously.
He wanted a trance 29 but giant are pretty much exhausted of stock, enter the sight 2018 a3 29. https://www.norco.com/bikes/2018/mountain/all-mountain/sight-aluminum/sight-a3/
Medium on the recommended chart goes to 175cm and large of course starts around said mark. The large comes with a 50mm stem so I can shorten it a little, moving seat forward etc. The geo is a little long but nothing ridiculous..
Surely the large is the right choice???
A shop guy was very much “ohh it might be to big” but he demo’d a Rocky Mountain instinct in medium on the weekend with similar numbers and if anything he was edging closer to the large.
I know bugger all about norco sizing, the spec is right, the style is right, the price is right, but is the size??
