ps. My original plan was to ship this bike home, but Korea post wont do it, and DHL wants to charge 500,000 to do it (3 day service). Seems a bit steep. Does anyone know how to get it shipped to Canada for less.

Have you checked with the airline to see if it can be checked luggage?

Or even don't check. Just find out the maximum dimensions of luggage, and put it in a bike bag.

Giant bikes are good overall and it is a reasonable price. I would consider buying it since my last bike got stolen but unfortunately it's too big for me

If you can get it to Hanti Stn. i'll take it for 400K won. Also where did you buy the GIANT bicycle?

I was told I might need a 20" bike. I'm about 6'2" tall (188cm)

Would 19" be too small?

If you think it's not too small, I am very interested.

bassexpander, this size is good, and truthfully it's hard to find anything larger than 19 in Korea, so turn your interest into a purchase Smile

According to GIANT's bike scale chart it says a 19" would fit a 5'9 person well, if you're 6'2 a 19" would definitely be too small for you.

Yeah, and 20" wouldn't be much better.

I have to politely disagree with both of the previous comments. I'm about 180cm (5'11"ish) and found that the 18" Giant XTC Team I bought a few years ago here was too big after riding it a bit. On an mtb you want to have some clearance over the top tube. I think a 19" frame would be a good fit for someone 6'2". It's all about feel and what you use the bike for I guess. As others mentioned though, good luck finding even a 19" frame in Korea. There seems to be an abundance of xs and s frames and little to none larger.

They have some 20" models for sale at a bike shop near work. Problem is that they're French brands, and they want 750,000 and up for them.

The only advice that I can give is to test ride the OPs Giant and see how it feels. Unfortunately at most shops in Korea they will not let you test a bike prior to buying it. Good luck, regardless.
