Size L only
All Big Nine and Big Seven models use a sophisticated TFS frame featuring the latest technology:
– full internal cable routing for a clean, neat set up,
– tapered headtube offering the potential for future upgrades
– inboard disc brake mounts protect the brake and maximise stopping power
As much Shimano componentry as possible has been added to complement the modern frame and enhance reliability.
There are a wide range of sizes; Big Seven for shorter riders and Big Nine for taller riders with a healthy overlap between the two.
For riders in the middle, riding style can be taken into account. If you are looking for speed and efficiency choose a Big Nine, if you are looking for agility choose a Big Seven.
