In august LAVA it says he rides a 54" Shiv. I'm 5'9" and ride a 54, seems awful small for a guy who is 6'4" Thoughts?

It is LAVA, so there is that.. But looking at him on the bike I'm guessing either a 56 or 58. Jordan rides a 56. These bikes are really tall and narrow.

I've read that Crowie is on a small... and I personally saw that Marino V was on a tiny tiny bike that had to be small. I'm on a large and my bike looked massive compared to his.

Maybe a 56 but definitely not a 54.

Not trying to be argumentative because, seriously, I could care less if it's 54 or 56 or if I'm right or wrong... but based on that photo.. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 54.
Go look at pictures of Marino and how big he looks on his bike. Frodo looks bigger in comparison and is 3 inches taller.

Once again: fit is king.
Jordan and I are the same height. We're of similar builds. I rode an XL Shiv. He rides a Medium. Our positions were simply different.
My position has evolved. I'm now on a Medium Plasma Premium. I, too, am 6'3". And looking at the data, I would probably now be on board the same Medium that Jordan rides.

By eyeball, looks like he's on a med Shiv. The seat is super jacked up, and (even though the Shiv is about the highest stack bike you can get) he's got substantial risers in the armpads.
