I am 5'11" and with the right stem and seatpost it fits perfectly. Mountain bike frames have a ton of standover height, and as long as the weight distribution is good, they seem to be able to fit a wider range of people than road bikes. If you talk to Fred@theharpethbicycles.com he can recommend the right size. 650b Baby! James, it is a 19 inch frame, I believe. I am 5′11″ and with the right stem and seatpost it fits perfectly.

Light, springy, good feedback. I thought about going SS, but since I'm so new to the mtb world I decided to go fully geared. Other than serious chainsuck on a long, muddy race last week (which a SS setup would have avoided), I've been very happy with the SRAM X-9 group. It’s a great frame. Light, springy, good feedback.

I put the deposit down on a 15" b-side frame last week, should arrive this week. I'll be riding on snow for a while up here in the snow belt of central new york, but I can't wait! Building mine single speed, rigid fork, with neo-moto 2.3s. Cheers, -Doug Nice! I put the deposit down on a 15″ b-side frame last week, should arrive this week.

It isn't specifically made for 650b wheels, but it has enough clearance and hasn't been a problem so far. It was taken off another bike with 650b wheels that was giving the previous owner no problems as well. Tires are Kenda Nevegals. 2.1s I believe. It’s a Fox F-Series 100mm travel fork.
