5'7" with a 27-28" inseam riding a gen 1 small Riot 50 mm stem and a 150 mm KS Lev TI.

I would like to try a medium with a short stem to feel the difference...
 
5.11 ft with 31 inseem. GEN1 Large frame with 1 inch taken off the seat stem. 75mm giant dropper seatpost all the way down. 35mm stem with 780mm bar
Wonder if its too large for me.
 
28" inseam, 125mm dropper, cranks - I'm changing out all the time. I have 170mm Next SL's in the image above, currently on our cranks/165mm's that I'm much happier with.
Thanks, if you said you weight 195 we could be twins, lol

Seeing what I can transfer over from my bike to this frame over the winter. Using 165mm cranks (yes better on knees and droping weight quicker in turns) with a 125mm dropper. This helps a lot!
 
5'10" 32.5" cycling inseam

I ride a large G2 Riot with a 150mm KS LEV, 35mm stem, 785mm bars.

The LEV is slammed in the seat tube and it's the exact height I need.
 
6'1" with 35 inseam on an XL. 165mm cranks, 32mm stem, 800 bar and 150mm fall line dropper. Feels perfect to me standing and seated. I might be able to squeeze in a 175 dropper also.
 
going off sizing if anyone wants to go to a 150mm dropper let me know :

If anyone is looking for a 150mm dropper let me know. With the help of canfield i got hold of a rep and got my raceface dropper post warrantied. Long story short due to the lot number they sent me a whole new post vs rebuilding it.

You will get a new dropper post just without the cable or housing as they told me to leave it on the bike.

After a week without the bike wait time i purchased another one and figured i would just sell the new one when i got it back to prevent down time.

PM if you want it ($250 plus shipping, so $270)
 
Calling all 5'10" or so Riot owners on a large...
Any regrets on going with a large over a medium?
I don't have any major downhill terrain to contend with in my area, and the trails tend to be more twisty, with shorter rooted climbs. My main concern is not being able to properly weight the front wheel on aggressive turns.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
Gen 2 size Large

5'9" with a inseam of 32"
Seat slammed forward with a 35mm stem. 125 dropper length. Could have gone medium but happy with large frame with adjustments made
 
Does anyone else have experience with a 175mm dropper in the gen 2 Large frame? I'm 5'11" with a 32inch inseam and trying to measure if I can get a 170mm Reverb or 175mm RF or 9point8.
