I recently bought a Specialized Hardrock sport disc 29er on Craigslist. This is my first bike ever since I was a kid. I bought it on craigslist and the seller assured me the size would be ok. I am 6-3 and they gave me a 17.5 inch frame. After riding it a few times I think I could use a little bigger of a frame.
Long story short I put my bike on craigs list for a trade and have been offered a Giant Revel 29er 0. This bike has a 20 inch frame. Which in common sense means it should fit better...right...although it may not be the perfect height I thought it would at least be closer.
So I went and looked at the stand over height... the specialized has a 783mm (30.8 inches) But for some reason the Giant has a 30.4 inch. I dont know what this measurement is exactly but I dont know why a smaller bike would have a larger stand over height. which bike would fit me better. Sorry for a question that seems really ignorant but any help would be appreciated.
