20-21" would be the std advice, but it also depends on how your bodies shapped, long or short legs?
Also the defactor advice is maybe also check out a 29-er, as they can fit tall buggers a lot better.

6'4" and ride a 19" Cotic Soda, which feels perfect, but friends say the post looks too long (technically it isn't), and a 22" Niner RIP9, which also seems to fit. Looks a bit of a gate though, even with te wagon wheels.

6'3" and a bit and ride a 16.5" or 17", I've never understood why you need a gate.To avoid extra long stems, to avoid stacks of spacers or bars 6" below saddle height, to avoid being past maximum extension on the seat frame, which might be quite different to the maximum extension to the seat-post..

Have you short legs ? or do you ride with a very bent knee position.Im an inch taller than you and just squeeze onto a 20inch frame .Seat height 82cm seat rail to bb centre .A 400mm post is nearly long enough

6'4 and a bit. Ride a L/XL commencal supreme, a DMR drone (normal sized?) and an 18" marin hardtail.
I'll be taking delivery of a 20" OnOne summer season soon to replace the marin. I know it's closer to the correct size of frame for me but i'm a bit worried that i've bought a frame that's too big. Ever since riding a 22" diamondback about 20 years ago that was just horrible I've always rode bikes that were a little on the small side.

6ft3
22" Kona Kula (feels a touch big)
21" Spesh Hardrock
60cm Surly Long Haul Trucker
57cm Kaffenback. A touch small but rideable (and dirt cheap)Posted 7 months ago # -
This guy's got a Giant Trance with a 46" frame ???? That should be big enough !!!
I would look at 29ers though as they look a better fit on tall people.

6'2" but 37" inside leg (85cm bb to saddle), XL Cannondale Flash fits perfectly.

6'3 and a bit. I ride a 19" with a 400mm post and 65mm stem. Just about get away with it. I like a slightly smaller frame, which isn't so easy when you have a 35" inside leg
