Figured I'd cross post here as well.

I'm in the market for a 56ish sized gorilla monsoon complete.

Located in Spokane, WA. So shipping would probably need to happen.

Budget ~ about $1500+/- Ideally less, cause everyone loves a deal but I could go up for the right rig.

My plan is to do some more packed down riding off road, with occasional spins around the neighborhood.

Depending, i might be interested other bikes of the same, uh, heft. I'd like the rig to handle solo bikepacking. So fenders/racks etc would be great, and the bigger squishy tires.

Sadly the one Elephant I've seen for sale in the area is a small, and I'm 6' so...

Anyway, hope this covers it. Thanks in advance

I have a friend who's an inch or so shorter than me so right around 6ft, who had a 55cm Gorilla Monsoon and sold it because it was much too small. I definitely couldn't fit it. I know leg and arm proportions can be quite different in folks of the same height, and some just like to ride smaller bikes, but a 58 would have been a much better fit for him an his symmetrical proportions. He rides a size L Electric queen. I would ride a 61cm if bikeinsights is accurate. Cool bike though.

Thanks for the insight. There is a local guy with a 55 AC GM that I'm hoping to look at soon.
