Wondering what size kikapu frame anyone who is 5'7" rides. I know I will ultimately need to try one out personally, just like to get a rough idea where to start.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Acme54321 01-18-2004, 10:10 AM I am around 5'9"-5"10" and I have a 18" on order, I liked that size for me. So you would probably fit a 17" or 18". OkieInCT 01-18-2004, 07:38 PM I'm about 5'6" with a 30" inseam. I ordered the 16". I like the reach on the 18", but didn't have much clearance (affraid of a painfull injury). :eek: Acme54321 01-18-2004, 09:03 PM I'm about 5'6" with a 30" inseam. I ordered the 16".

Mine should be here the week of the 26th, I can't wait to break her in :D OkieInCT 01-19-2004, 01:33 PM No, she's not paid off yet :( Kind of works out though. It's been a messy winter around here. I'ld rather take out the old Diamondback and trash it than to abuse the new one. I hope to get it out in March or early April. As for now, I just go make a payment and ride it around the LBS lot and try to see if there is anything I want to upgrade. So far, I only changed out the stem (the one that came on it was very short). Cooter 01-30-2004, 08:12 AM Hey, I'm in Bham too. You'll probably need to go with the 16". (or 17" if they go odd) brschmid 03-28-2004, 07:56 PM i just got a 18" Kikapu, i was comparing Kona's sizing chart and their Hardtail XC frame sizes and a 18" Kik, compares in size to a 20" Kula. B'ham rider 03-29-2004, 04:14 AM The 16" was a liitle small for me, and I prefer to be stretched out. I've been very happy with it, so far. brschmid 03-29-2004, 08:58 AM thats good! the top tube on mine is about 1" shorter than the equivalent 20" sized kona, but i have a long steam that i feel plenty stretched. |
