Your the same size as me, and I’m happy with the 18″.

I just bought an 18″. Havn’t built it up yet but measured it against my Large Scott scale and its basically identical! So i would say 18″

TBH? 19″ would be ideal with a halfway toptube. 18″ otherwise.

Mine’s a 20″ mate. You can come and give it a try if you’re allowed away from the nest for more than 5 mins 😀

I’m 6’1″ and ride an 18″. It feels a little bit short on the top tube and the shortest stem I can comfortably run is 90mm, and that’s when I’m running a layback seatpost. I’d be keen to try an 20″ and run it with a shorter stem.

In your case I’d probably go for an 18″ though.

6’3″ on a 20″ fit is perfect, had an 18″ inbred a while ago and
found it too cramped.

Mine’s a 20″ with a whole heap of seatpost out I’m 6’2 with 33 inside leg… it is set up for xc though

18″ is most common size on-one sell

6’1″ here on an 18″ – it’s never felt too small.

I use an 80mm stem and a layback post. But then I use a layback post on all my bikes, road or mountain.

The same frame is better (for a 6 footer) in the 29 version.
My fastest laps at MM this w/end were on the 29er On-One and I’m 5ft 10.5.
Try it first before dimissing it!
