Lee McCormack's Guide to Bike Set-Up
@leelikesbikes: how does wheelbase enter the equation? I’m 6’1” so “between” large and XL by most measures. I have a medium FR bike. And have just gone from a large hard tail 26” trial bike to ht trail XL 29er. The 29er feels incredible but rarely leaves the ground. I could use the same RAD/ RAAD on a large or XL. Is it as obvious as I think? Would I get a livelier ride on a shorter wheelbase with my specific rider triangle set up? There’s 28mm difference in wheelbase so am assuming fore/aft weight distribution would be the only change to feel? Cheers

There is a rub mark on the handlebars (from hanging lid on for the walk up) and a few very light scratches on the rims (from storage). Apart from that it's in great condition and I'll be really sad to see her go :(
Pedals in the photos will go with the bike but they will need changing (they've just been put on for test rides).
