Our choice to grab a 27.5-inch version took into account a number of elements that do not merit defense in this context.

I tested the Nomad (medium) The Giga (large) is being tested by someone else, in another state as part of a larger project. Let us all please keep these comments civil and in context. This is just a bicycle, after all.
