wrong size

freerider4ever · 01-02-2004, 04:40 AM

Well for christmas I got a specialized p-2 and i ordered a small. I never actually cleaned the bike until today when I found out the bike was a large, and that the shop gave me the wrong size. The top tube on the small is 21.25, and the large is 22.5. Would it have made a big difference doing manuals and bunny hops and such with the size small bike, considering Im only 5 foot 6. I don't know if I should call the shop or what.

how did u not notice the length of frame difference???

if u ordered a Small, i'd take it back and get one...

make the LBS sort it out... its not your fault... and i dont see why u should have to live with a wrong size frame....

Wtf.
If you didn't notice it and it felt fine why bother?
OBVIOUSLY you couldn't tell the difference so what does it matter anyways?

The smalll is TINY. The mech at the shop here rides a small and hes like 5'5" and he says that he should have gotten a large.

Well I tried a small out like 6 months ago and it felt really well fitted to me, and now I have the large and I noticed I cant manual or bunny hop as high. I might just keep the large, I will probablly grow anyway, and I doubt I can give back a bike I have ridden for 7 days.
