Hi —
I found a Haro Beasley 27.5 DLX heavily discounted at Sun & Ski Sports.
It looks like a good option for riding around town on sidewalks, paved bike paths, and the occasional gravel path.
However, there is only a "Medium" available with height range 5'4" to 5'11" or "Extra Large" with height range 6'0" to 6'5".
I am like 5' 11 1/2". Better to go smaller or larger?
I'm going to ship the bike to the store and try it out. If it's too small, I could order the directly from the manufacturer: $700 for DLX and $600 for non-DLX.
I don't know enough about bikes to say if the DLX is worth the extra bucks?
