Boardman MX Race Hybrid Bike SIZING

[tomceg123]

I was thinking of getting a second hand Boardman MX Race Hybrid Bike, though I can't find any sizing charts.

I am 5"11 by the way. Either the medium (19") or the large (21") not sure.

I'm 6ft and I had a Boardman hybrid (but not mx) and large was just right.

 

[tomceg123]

I think a large may be the better option, though I am only seeing medium ones on eBay

Might this be an alternate option?

@Brava210 should be able to help on sizing

Otherwise, I'm sure you are aware, if buying a bike on eBay ask for proof of purchase/ownership and check the serial number against stolen bike registers

Thanks for the heads-up. Also I'll have a look at the bike you recommended. Why this one instead of the Boardman MX race bike?

 

[tomceg123]

This bike looks like it has thicker wheels...hence being a mountain bike. I am looking more for a hybrid bike with locking suspension

Im 5.11 and have a hybrid pro size medium suits me perfect if u have time go to halfords and try sitting on the medium and large see how u fell cos i felt a large slighty too big

Just got back from Halfords and the medium is perfect. Thanks for your help.

I'm divided out of these three bikes:
MX Race
MX Sport
MX Comp

The MX Comp is meant to have more features e.g. hydraulic brakes etc though it is really worth it for £100 more?

I've got the MX Sport. Great bike and I've never had an issue with it "only" having mechanical disk brakes

Race hybrid? That's a new one on me.

Its just a marketing name...I doubt it actually races that well. Just good all-surface which is what I want
