Looking to get a mountain bike off of Craigslist, but I have a quick sizing question. This guy has 2011 norco shore that is basically new but he says it is size small. He says it's a little small for him and he is 5' 11" , 175 lbs. I'm 5' 10", 165 lbs. is this too small for me?

does he have actual frame measurements? saying "small" shouldn't cut it. Get the actual size and then decide.

Any way to try it before you buy it?

Yes, a small norco shore will be too small for someone who is 5'10

I'm 5 11 and I ride a medium, which is about right for me. I would say a medium would be ok for you too, definately dont go with a small. But we need exact frame measurements to be sure.
