I know he is a valued member to the site so I highly doubt I've been shafted, but I have prepaid for a rotor to be sent which I need by the end of the week and haven't had confirmation from him it's been sent.

    Santa Cruz V10 sizing

    Hi All, I am around 5'10-5'11 on the old imperial measurements. I am wondering if a large 2005 V10 frame is too large for me to buy?
