Ordering a Kona Operator soon and I'm not sure what size to take. I've looked all around but all the forum stuff i've seen is for guys hesitating between S and M. I'm bang on 6 ft (1m83 for the metric lovers). Should i go for a Medium or a Large. Please pity the fool and help out Smile

Hello Jake,
If it helps, i'm 1m85 and i have the Large Operator. I really like the cockpit size!
Mine came with the 400x coil and it's a bit on the stiff side for my weight (below 30% sag). Be sure to check your sag if you go for the large one.

PS: i heard the Large Operators were sold out in Europe...

A friend of mine had a sit on a med over the weekend and he thought it was too small, he is six foot two though.

Ok thank's guys. I'm putting a Ti spring on back and getting the forks and shock tuned once i get it so that should solve the stiffness problem. Looks like i'm getting a large then. After an evening of geeking out I found a shop still stocking them (thank god).
Cheers ! tup
