Just picked up this GT Tequesta
I think it’s a bit too small for me but price was good so I picked it up anyways
Im 1.90m tall and C-C is about 51cm so it should be 20“ which I think is too small ?
Saddle is currently stuck so I couldn’t try to adjust it lol
Makes me wonder how tall are you guys and what size do yo ride ?
Not sure if I should rebuild it for myself or try to find a bigger frame (which has been very hard so far lol)

174cm with 18” frame
170 cm with 53 cm frame (21 inch I guess?).
175cm- happiest with 17 or 18″, depending on how the bike is set up

This was my first one 1999 Karakoram, 18 inch i rided with it until a week ago im 181 cm and it got too small.
I’m 185cm with an 18″ timberline. It’s just a touch too small I’d say but works well with a short stem and some sunrise bars. I’ve got a 20″ Tequesta I’m about to build up that I’m hoping will be perfect.
There is no proper sizing of frames yet. its all a bit bullshitty. I am also 190 and i like L frames. it also depends on your proportions (long/short legs/arms) and how you ride (preferred ride position) and mostly the manufacturer how it sizes the frame. I know i like frames considered slightly to small for me.
I’m 193cm and ride a 62cm outpost, it’s the perfect size for me
I’m 173cm with a 17″ frame, and i’m plenty satisfied.
Better to size down since the TT is so long on these.
175cm and an 18” fits me pretty well but I can go up to 20”
