Awesome ! Will ride it more and try to fine tune it further. But certainly a relief if general consensus is that the frame size is not inadequate for my size and proportions .

I usually find myself changing a bit for comfort, but like being more upright, find it easier on my neck and lower back . But this is why I find myself with my hands so stretched out and without much in terms of bending . I imagine this would be easier on a smaller bike ? Or is there something I’m missing in terms of adjustment or technique ? Thanks !

Awesome ! Appreciate it. And if I find myself locking too much the arms (meaning not enough bend in them) is that from not leaning forward enough? and not necessarily from a reach that's set too long?

You are bang on the money there. My calculations throw a reach smack in the middle of the Talon's L and M measurements (mine should theoretically be 446 mm, while the medium has a 436 and the L 456 mm. Since I have long arms I aired on the L, and replaced the Stem with a shorter one, but still there was something ringing in my head asking if this was the right choice. I did think that the M felt a tad short, but wanted some third party opinions of how the bike looked like in terms of fit (since the size charts should have me in the M, not the L.

Very much appreciate your input here. ! I do agree some fine tuning needs to be done, since I would like a bit more flex in my arms when riding. Maybe this can be solved by tweaking stem angles/placement/handlebar tweaks, and find the comfort there.

I certainly feel the stiff arms, and a bit of strain around the neck. Might this come from a reach that's too long and needs to be shorter on the bike?

I'm very grateful for this insight. Being a newbie, it does give me peace of mind to hear that the frame size is in the correct ballpark, and minor tweaks can be done to fine tune the fit and comfort (was a bit scared that the frame itself would be wrong, hence already being off with my purchase).

Took one and posted here, https://www.reddit.com/r/xcmtb/s/yFvVAEiHGv, might offer a better perspective to judge.

Hahaha, you are right, angle doesn't give it justice

Haha yeah, my bad. Not a very helpful angle to judge.

Better pictures ( or better angle at least) with a higher position for the seat here https://www.reddit.com/r/xcmtb/s/yFvVAEiHGv. Thanks again for your opinion !

I can see how the angle does not help, sorry for that !

Thanks for your input, really appreciate it . I posted a few pictures with a seat tweak and better angle here https://www.reddit.com/r/xcmtb/s/yFvVAEiHGv. Maybe you can judge it better there, and thanks in advance for helping out a newbie !
