Does anyone ride an Ellsworth Truth? Just wondering how tall you are/what size you ride.

Thanks!

My husband has a large which I can also ride, but it's on the big side of a large (I have a Gary Fisher lg and a trek 19" and a 56cm raleigh road bike, all a little smaller than the Truth).
5'8", 36" inseam, short body, chimpanzee arms.

I bought my Truth in 2007 and I love it. I'm 5 ft 3 and I ride the smallest one. I think it might be an XS but it was the size smaller than the Epiphany.

This was one of the only bikes I could ride that was custom built because of the stand over height. If you need the numbers I can get them for you. I went through Wrench Science for my build. It's a great bike, let me know if you need any more info...it's a cross country machine!

I have an Ellsworth Truth, stock XS frame. I'm 5'5". I like it a lot, although I haven't had an opportunity to really put it through its paces yet. Also, it's beautiful =)

I do think that demo'ing is a good idea. I demo'd the Truth and a Yeti on the same day, with a friend. The Truth was the clear winner for me, but for my friend, it was the Yeti.

dug up a review of it for ya....my husband has an XL Isis and LOVES it, it's been a great bike, and when he bent the frame after having it for a year or so, they completely replaced it for him. We've been really impressed with the company and product.
