Im looking at picking up a fatbike for the winter and have come across a deal on an previous seasons model. I would normally look for a medium but all that is left is small. and I like the review as well as the front suspension on this bike.
The bike is online( boo, i know I suck but the brand is not that easy to come by in regional shops) so I cant go out and test ride.
Anyhow, here is my thinking. I dont mind having to get a longer stem or seat post to make up any fit issues. I also kind of like the idea of riding a slightly smaller frame size since these bikes are monstrous to begin with.
When I compare reach from my M Pivot Vault to the Small Cube Nutrail the difference is 7mm.
To me this seems negligible.
so the question is is it safe to compare the geo of my XC bike with a MTB and are there other specs I should be looking at?
thanks
