Hey that’s awesome! And yes, ITS A SWEET BIKE! You’re going to love it! I’m 6’2” and I ride the large. The reach is perfect for me at 490mm. I’ve also got a riser bar in it now! The bike is an absolute joy to ride. You won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend! Thank you for watching!
@@dirtyforksmtb Thanks for making it! Sounds great. I'm 6'2" as well. The 490 reach should be good I think. My XL Salsa Blackthorn is 510mm, and came with a 50mm stem, and 20mm rise bars. Was just a hair long for me. Swapped the stem for a 35mm Funn Equalizer with 16" rise and PNW Loam carbon bars with 38mm rise and am MUCH happier with it. 490 should be perfect.
Are you saying does it compare to the growler 50 in stock? If that’s what you’re asking I’d say not really. The ESD is a bit better spec’d in stock form and has slightly more aggressive geo. It’s also a steel bike, the RM is aluminum. Quite different but the RM is a sweet looking bike.
I love my esd! Good video!
ESD is the best! Thank you for watching and leaving your comment!

Looking to get one for my self 😊. I’m 6’ 2” and I’m I between size L and XL.

Should be good then. I’ve got a 35mm stem and a 40 riser on it and it fits so good!
