Bicycles Asked on July 10, 2021
I am 180 cm tall and I recently bought a Talon 3, with large frame and tire 29 through the website. I searched and I found that large frame is good for me. When I wanted to pick it up, I found it seems large for me and when I seat, my toes just touch the ground. Can I know if it is ok and I should replace it with another bike? I am new and I am not familiar how large my bike should be and what tire size is perfect.
Thanks
as the comments have said. It is good to have your legs able to fully extend when your pedal is at its lowest point. It makes for easier pedaling, I am about your size and I also have a 29in mountain bike. The bike is worth keeping, an easier way to get on would be to step over the frame and as you start pedaling slide onto the seat.

You could start with the manufacturer size recommendations. Smth like this https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ru/talon-3-2021 .
After some rides try to be aware about body sensations.
For example, I’ve realized that I prefer to be bended more to to the steering bar even that frame size fits my heigh. So later I’ve bought a little longer stem and it was fine )
So if you’ve bought the bike and feel uncomfortable try to reach out local bike shop or repair and ask guys there. They could help for sure. There are plenty of options to finetune posture even on existing bike )
