Frame size

[Marco]

Hi all,
I am in the process to buy a full susp mtb.
I got confused with the frame size. I am 1 meter and 76 cm (should be 5 feet and 10 inches). I was thinking to buy a Specialized FSR XC Pro.
Do you think I should go for a medium or a large? I tried both and they seems both comfortable to me....
Thanks a lot for any hint on it.
M.

Where did you try the bikes?

Your best bet would be to get a proper test ride on either size. Bike fit issues won't always be immediately apparent - e.g. if a bike is too short it might take a while for your back to start hurting, if it's too big you mightn't realize until you're riding technical terrain.

Try to get hold of a demo-bike or borrow somebodys on a spin.

I tried them in Cycleways.
I'll get your advice. I'll ask them a ride them.
Thx a lot
