MissingPistons

Thanks to jcarneytx for meeting up and letting me hop on the Jeffsy. Immediately after checking out the Jeffsy someone came by on a medium Ripmo. They were also cool with letting me peddle it around for a bit. I appreciate the local MTB'ers helping out. 🍻

MissingPistons, I do have a large Izzo that you are welcome to look at if you would like.  Not exactly what you are asking for, but the offer is there.  I am around 5'-10" and hit right in the middle of the Large so that is what I went with.  Not sure who else on the forum might have an Izzo.

If I cannot find a S or M Izzo, that might be worth a try. My unfounded logic says, if a large does not seem too crazy to sit on, then maybe a medium is a better fit than a small.
I will send you a message if it comes to it. Regardless, I appreciate the help.

I am sure you already posted about your experience with the Izzo on the local trails, so I wont ask you to repeat it here. I'll go check the history, but please link if you have a recommended read.

Got a Medium Jeffsy you can hop on. Certainly not the same, but at least you can get a feel for YT sizing. 

Is your Jeffsy a 29"? If so, that might be a good option.
I am new to all this and still learning what geometry matters. I am running the numbers against the Izzo and my current bike. Looks like the Jeffsy stack and reach is really close. Aside from BB drop, most measurements are within about 2%.  This looks like a good option.

I want to upgrade and looking at the YT Izzo. Trying to decide between a SM/MD. I want to checkout an Izzo in person. You got one I can check out?

I don't want to take it for a joy ride. I just want to check it out and see if the reach works for me. Either a small or medium is fine.

This is me asking a stranger for a favor, so it is at your convenience and location of choice. I have no problem meeting most anywhere in the Austin area.

Edit: Made the post less CLP. Felt... wrong. Thanks, Sluggo.
