I'm buying the frame via mail order, so riding one of each size isn't an accessable option.Ĭlick to expand.while i don't have all the measurements on my '04-ish 'cog,i bought mine slightly used sight-unseen off a net freind,so i was in a similar scenario.i'm 5'9" tall,w/ a 32" inseam (thats my levi size anyways,32x32).mine is a 19" frame,and i find that redlines are sized a little bigger than frame size would suggest.my normal med sized bike is an 18",and one 17.5" (rocky mtn blizzard),and my 'cog is just a little long in the top tube for the uprite riding position my spinal injuries from a while back require.i do ride it more 'n most other bikes in my stable,tho,i currently have a 70-ish mm bontrager stem on it to compensate,but when the urge to slap some slicks on it and road ride a little,i put the 100mm back on it.i'm actually only sitting 3' from it as i type this,but i actually don't have any way of measuring anything on it. So to all you 26" Monocog owbners - How do you measure up and what frame size did you go with? If you could provide saddle height, stem length, what'd you keep, what'd you change, further measurements, etc. I can only find a '07 geometry chart for the steel Flight version.Any one got an '06 chart? I'm basing my loose figures on the '07 cro-mo flight. Especially if I decide to put a sus-fork on or a bit bigger tire. With a 33" inseam, I worry about "the twins". But I think I've read the stand-over hovers in the 31" range. The 19" is a bit longer in the TT and I'm guessing a 100mm stem should fit the bill, and the seat tube is a bit longer so less post will show. I'd also probably have to go with a longer stem - 120mm. The seat tube on the 17" looks a bit short - I'd have to run a 410mm post to get my 74 to 75mm (it varies w/ fitness) saddle extension. From what specs I have found, I seem to be in between sizing of the 17" and 19". I'm considering a purchase of said frame, but I'm in the middle of a sizing dilemma.
