straddle mo sa top tube. dapat may konting clearance dun, lalo na sa mountain bike. ask your bike shop if they offer fitting, if not, dami sa internet.

Re: the Sta. Cruz frame, i think it is an expensive brand. So kung 5K lang sya and full suspension pa, i must be an imitation frame. But I might be wrong.

thanks ulit.....buti na lang hinde ko pa siya binili kahapon....medyo na-atract kse ako sa itsura nya.... saang store po po ba ung medyo ok ung mga frames with suspension...pasensya na talagang zero knowledge ako and sa pag pili ng piyesa minsan lang kse ako bibili kelangan ung sure na tlaga hehehe....

*FXT,STACRUZ lang na plain nakasulat....

medyo confused na tuloy ako kung hardtail or suspension ang bibilhin ko...ang suspension frames ba nde sya pang mabilisang takbo?

Full suspension frames are normally heavier than hardtail frames, so it would need more effort on your part to pedal it faster. You can however make it lighter by using lightweight components, which would cost you an arm and a leg.

Start with a hardtail and get a good suspension fork. Then upgrade.

malaki yung nakuha mu, im 5'9 but sakto sakin 17

what fxt means by straddle is to stand over the bike when you stand over you should have a clearance of 1in from your groin to the top tube, kawawa family jewels mu nyan pagsumemplang ka

yap it should be santa cruz hehe hindi sta. cruz

* iskulbukul -- get a hardtail muna, kasi di worth yung full susp pagtinipid mu, get ready to spend around 25k for a decent full suspension frame

sir boybi ,saan po ninyo nabili ang stand ng ride nyo at magkano po?

**boybi** · April 2nd, 2007 07:46 PM

miLes, more than 1in. pa naman ang clearance. Teka, clearance from the top tube or from the saddle? Kasi kung from the top tube, malaki ang clearance.

BoEinG_747, dito lang sa bike shop na pinagbibilhan ko. Forgot the exact amount, but it's more or less P400.00.

How much are those tires?

Edit: just checked Maxxis' website and found out that this tire model is for XC racing and is available only in one size? (26x1.95)
