I'm 6'-0, 185lb and have a large size (2010) frame. It fit's me perfect and I enjoy riding the hell out of it. Can't say much about their wheel-set's, I'm rolling Stan's Arch EX tubeless with Specialized Ground Control 2.3 front ant Fastrak 2.1 rear. Very low rolling resistance and surprisingly adequate grip. What I like about this bike is that it feels comfortable (for me) whether I'm climbing, descending or speeding through tight single-trak. One thing I would suggest is getting a dropper seatpost with a remote handlebar switch, It just raises the bar for trail riding enjoyment.
I'm also ready to pull the trigger on a Epi. Ellsworth site has the sst.1 and the non sst. at an awesome price. I'm a bit confused. Their site only has geometry for the current sst.2 frames so I have no idea what geometry 'im getting. The sst.1 and non sst on sale come in an xl (21) but the new sst.2 doesn't come in an xl. Only up to Lrg.
I'm just shy of 6'3" and I'm pretty sure I need an xl but it's sure nice to know these numbers before buying. I've googled and more google and can't seem to find any geometry on non current ellsworth frames.
I'm just over 5'10" and a large fits me well. The main thing is having enough room to stretch out along the top tube. I've got short legs so I have to use a large rather than a medium.
