    How big a boy are ya???? I have a lg M6 if you want to take a run on it...

    Warnng riding my bike has been proven to be directly responsible for a spending spree at The Path Bike Shop... :bang: Just as TrojanInsomniac

    But Roger's M6 has done the same and I can personally attest to that fact:lol:

    Anyone got a small M6? :) How much difference is there between a M3 and a M6?

    I'd really like to try a Yeti 303DH. Unfortunately, they never seem to have them at the Yeti demos i've been to.

    You're right. I've seen that thing sitting pretty on the rack. What kind of demo's does he allow on his personal race bike?

    Also, what's a new M6 frame go for?

    Tani mentioned to me the other day that his M6 is a medium, saying that he preferred that over the small. :?:

    Check out the '08 Turner DHR. I'm very happy with mine and Turner is blowing them out these days. Go-Ride is selling them for $1600, and I'm betting a local shop (...cough cough..The Path..cough...) could get you the same deal on whatever sizes Turner still has in stock.

    I´m 5´11 but live out in the sticks (Idyllwild). I´m not sure it will fit as all my bikes are medium with a single small in there somewhere.
    Let me know if you are up this way with the M6
    Thanks for the generous offer.

    Thanks for the generous offer but distance is a bit of a problem. I´m in Idyllwild, which is a bit of a drive.
    If you find yourself up here, let me know
    Thanks again
    Simon
