Hey guys I'm thinking about buying an Evil Sovereign b/c I found a place where the price is about right. I ride AM..so lots of up, and lots of down. My normal route is also around 20km, and I will be taking it on longer rides up to around 100km. I can't decide if the med or large would be more appropriate.
The med definitely looks a little small (23.03 in/585mm effective TT) compared to the large (23.82 in/605mm). I am leaning towards the large with a 60mm stem. What do you all think? I am of fairly average proportion and between 6'1-6'2.
I've also been thinking about the Ragley Blue pig. I found the Evil at an only slightly higher price, and from what I have read it is a pretty amazing steel hardtail. Is the Evil a much better bike than the Blue Pig? Does it justify the extra half pound of weight? Thanks in advance!
