I weight around 175 to 180 and I am 5'8. Probably could lose some weight

I like the color of the 138, the new 07 with the Red in it.

You could definitely go with either size. I'd demo if you can and maybe drop that weight. LOL. I usually ride a 140 Pure, but rode the 138 and loved it. 138 is actually the same size as my 140 Pure when stood up side by side, just measured a bit differently due to the shape of the tip/tail. I'd probably go 138.

I ride the '06 142---I am 5'10"/165lbs, however I demo'd the 2007 Transcend in both the 138 and 142 and I felt better on the 138. Finless was the way to go for me!! I'll be riding the platinum 138 when they come out!! I highly recommend this new shape---tons of fun to ride!!!

I am riding a 138 cause my absolute was a 141 and I did not want to go bigger. I was a little worried that I would have some issues but so far it has been great. I think it is actually a better ride for me. I am 6' and just under 190 ( and lossing some weight)
