Mountain Sizing Information
For an approximate calculation of your correct frame size, measure your
inseam in inches, crotch to floor in bare feet, and subtract 16 inches.
When in doubt, choose a smaller frame size, especially if your legs are
long in proportion to your upper body.
Frame sizes are measured from the center of the bottom bracket spindle
to the center of the top tube at the point where it intersects the seat tube.
"Nominal" top tube lengths are measured as if the tube were
horizontal (parallel with the ground). The measurement is taken from the center of the
head tube/top tube intersection to the centerline of the seat tube, extended to meet the
imaginary horizontal horizon drawn across from the head tube.
Frame sizes for: Mountain, XLM, Echo, Fat Ti, Fat Beat
Front derailleur clamp: 1 1/4-in. on 13.5 Mountain 1 3/8-in. on all other frames
Seatpost: 27.2 mm
Dropouts have threaded eyelets
Top tube cable rounting standard; down tube cable routing is optional
Suspension-adjusted geometry is compatible with standard aftermarket suspension forks
Steerer lengths calculated with a 46-mm stack height; measure all parts before cutting the
steerer tube
Frame weight does not include fork or bottom bracket; all weights approximate
All models have sloping top tubes
Standover heights may vary with tire profile
Racks may not be used with XLM frames
Road Sizing Information
For an approximate calculation of your correct frame size, measure your
inseam in centimeters, crotch to floor in bare feet, and multiply by 66 percent.
Frame sizes are measured from the center of the bottom bracket spindle
to the center of the top tube at the seat post binder (not to the top of the seat tube
extension).
All other measurements are center-to-center.
For center-to-center frame sizing, subtract 1.5 centimeters from the
Merlin frame sizes listed in the specification charts.
