Yeah, looks like it'll fit someone 6ft.
There's a couple of things about that bike though everything anodised is a different colour, and those fork graphics 🤮, but other than that it's purple enough for me.

Hadn't committed to this steep section and was having second thoughts, whilst my shoes were losing grip, so I tried to grab a tree stump that was totally rotten, which obviously just collapsed.
-
Just wasn't the right time for me, maybe next time.

Cheers, was a good ride, we're both trying to stay awake on the train.
If there's lesson to take away from today, it's that rotten tree stumps aren't as sturdy as one might hope.
@lowbrows how was your skills session?

I presume by "3" you mean 3am 😉

Maybe I'll just transfer there and become the boss of the Forest.
Would be nice if they had some warning signs on the trails, especially as I once had to warn a family that were walking up the jumps on Claypit, that cyclists fly mountain bikes down there.
-
Yeah it is. At the beginning of lockdown someone built some lovely jumps there.

Yeah I'm in, I'll get the train out with @Cloak/Dagger

Is any one getting the train out?

A slacker seat tube angle will increase the distance from the bars to the saddle, so effectively making it longer. This is one of the problems with the reach measurement, that and it doesn't take stem length into consideration. If you're going to be riding fairly flat ground go medium, if you're going up and down go large and slam the saddle forward.
29 will allow you to plough over the ground more comfortably than 27.5, and is less agile.
